The Surprising Origin of Monopoly (Encore)


Listen Later

One of the most popular board games in the world is Monopoly. 

Millions of copies of the game have been sold and thousands of different versions have been published. 

However, the origins of the game are not what most people think. In fact, the game was originally designed not as a way for people to win by amassing properties but rather to demonstrate why that was a bad idea.

Learn more about the surprising origins of Monopoly, one of the most popular board games in history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
