@drewcarrell1: She Invented Monopoly. He Got RICH. She Got $500. . . monopoly's origin story was printed in the box for 50 years: broke man invents game at his kitchen table during the depression, becomes a millionaire. almost none of it is true. a woman named lizzie magie patented the game in 1904, patent 748,626, you can go read it. darrow copied a hand-made board and even copied its spelling mistake, marvin instead of marven. it's still on the board. parker brothers bought her patent for $500, no royalties. her obituary never mentioned monopoly. #business #monopoly #history #boardgames #businessstory
