On this day in 1935, the board game Monopoly was introduced by Parker Brothers.
The first players of Monopoly are almost done with that first game.
My son Sean and I play it pretty regularly, but we have our own rules. We double the money, hotels are free with the purchase of the final property of a color, and when the last property is sold, the game is over. It drives Bridget crazy that we don't follow the real rules exactly, but as I noted above...the real rules are insane.
