Anti-Monopoly:
Apparently, that’s how it originated . . . but as things played out, that’s not how most of us learned about it.
“To begin with, the Monopoly game, in its original form, was called “The Landlord’s Game.” It was invented and patented in 1903 by Lizzie J. Magie, a follower of Henry George and his single-tax theory, as a means of teaching the evils of exploitation by landlords and the capitalist business system prevalent in America.
[ . . . ]
One evening in 1932 an unemployed salesman, Clarence B. Darrow, joined the Atlantic City Quakers for a Monopoly game session. Recognizing the commerical potential of the game, and unsympathetic to the Quakers’ view that it was not meant to be used for profit-making, Darrow copied the board and presented it to the president of Parker Brothers, Robert Barton, as his (Darrow’s) own invention.”

There seems to be some evidence in support of that argument.
