Monopoly was originally created by Elizabeth Magie in 1903 under the name “The Landlord’s Game.” It was intended as a teaching tool to illustrate the negative aspects of land monopolies. However, it wasn’t until Charles Darrow developed a version of the game in the 1930s that it gained widespread popularity. Right now, 2024 1 oz Colorized Samoa Monopoly Rise to Wealth Silver Coins are available at JM Bullion.

In 1935, Parker Brothers acquired the rights to Monopoly from Charles Darrow. They made some modifications to the game and released it commercially, leading to its immense success.

These properties include Boardwalk, Park Place, and Marvin Gardens.
