Celebrating 35 Years of Different Rules and Risks! Here's a great twist to the "monopoly" folk game invented by Elizabeth Magie 100 years ago. It's right out of today's headlines: free market competitors clash with ruthless monopolists.
In the real business world, competitors and monopolists both work hard to make money, but they go about it differently. Competitors sell their goods at market prices to make a profit. Monopolists prefer to wipe out their competitors so they can fix prices above market levels and make bigger profits.
Anti-Monopoly gives players a chance to see these dynamics at work. Players divvy up between competitors and monopolists. The two types of players then follow different rules. No other game pits players following different sets of rules against each other. Who will you be in your quest for riches?
