@Heliograph @LaPenguin there is also a game called Anti-Monopoly and a later version called Anti-Monopoly II. The lawsuit between Parker Brothers and Anspach (an economics professor who created Anti-Monopoly) is a quite a story!  @bmp oh wow thanks :O Ralph #Anspach even has his own wiki page on #AntiMonopoly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Anspach @LaPenguin  @bmp Is Anti-Monopoly basically the Landlord's Game with Prosperity rules? There also World Control / Världskontroll, originally Världsmonopol but I guess Parker put a stop to that, where you play on a (non-Mercator of course) world map, first with Monopoly-inspired rules, but then there's a second phase where you institute world equity measures to protect countries against multinational corporations. |

And excellent video about why we don't play her game anymore. I stopped playing Monopoly decades ago too - I agree - it is a nasty game!
