''Monopoly'' is a board game that Parker Brothers claims was created in the 1930s by Charles Darrow, who patented it in 1935. Players get $1,500 of starting cash, then roll dice to move their tokens around the board. They may then land on property squares, Chance squares, Community Chest squares and even Free Parking. The object of the game is to become the Monopoly - that is, to bankrupt every other player by buying, selling, and collecting rent from properties.
