The story of Monopoly you grew up with is a myth.
The truth is far more surprising — and it was almost erased from history.
In this documentary-style deep dive, we uncover the real origins of Monopoly and reveal the woman behind the world’s most famous board game: Elizabeth Magie.
Decades before Charles Darrow ever saw the game, Magie created The Landlord’s Game as a warning about wealth inequality, unchecked capitalism, and the dangers of monopolists.
So how did her educational game turn into the Monopoly we know today?
How did a single man get credit for inventing it?
And how did a board game designed to critique monopolies become… one of the most successful monopolies in gaming history?
👀 In this video you’ll learn:
• The true inventor of Monopoly
• How the game spread through universities and social clubs
• Why Parker Brothers buried Elizabeth Magie’s role
• How Charles Darrow became the “official” inventor
• The hidden political message behind Monopoly’s original rules
• And how this forgotten history finally resurfaced
If you love board games, hidden history, and surprising origin stories, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
