EP 61 - The History of Monopoly Board Game

Felipe and Butch give us the history of the famous board game, Monopoly. But before there was Monopoly, there was The Landlord's Game, that was designed by Elizabeth Magie and first patented in 1904, but existed as early as 1902. The version by The Parker Bros., was patented on December 31, 1935. There's controversy afoot.
