A funny thing about that game, uh, MonopolyTM

I came across this interesting story... Apparently, all we ever knew about Monopoly is wrong.

 

Wrong! Wrong, I tell you!

 

So just read through it, it's quite interesting, although some of the transactions are pretty confusing (Who bought what, from whom? what? who said what? The butler did it? in the conservatory!? No!)

And once you've read through that, you can look at many of the images and rules of the games over here. Funny thing is that I came across this page first, so I was quite amused to find a copy of the patent for "The Landlord's Game", thinking, wow that's just like Monopoly... Oooh, I gave away the ending!

 

So read through it, it's really interesting to know this...
