Monopoly may or may not have been created today

March 7, 1933
Charles Darrow, for some reason claims that he invented The Monopoly board game on this date. Thank your rich Uncle Pennybags.

(Quite truthfully, the history of the Monopoly game is so complicated, for legal reasons, just go with this date, don’t ask about Elizabeth Magie’sThe Landlord Game‘ and her patent of March 23, 1903.)

And so it goes
