Did you know that one of the most popular American Board games of all time - MONOPOLY - was actually invented by a Broad?! That right! Lizzie Magie invented THE LANDLORD'S GAME to help teach the concept of Georgism to the masses, and even patented it in 1904, 30 years before the Monopoly patent was filed.  As we dive down the rabbit hole we discover not only more about the incredible multi-hyphenate and radical feminist Lizzie was, but also how her beloved game fell into the hands of Charles Darrow, and ultimately was purchased by the then-struggling Parker Brothers. Did Lizzie ever receive compensation or credit for her invention? You'll have to listen to find out! — A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules.

Arion, Rebecca and Olly unearth the origins of iconic board-game Monopoly, marketed across the United States by Parker Brothers on 5th November, 1935. Its roots lay in a game designed by Quaker feminist Lizzie Magie in 1902, intended to illustrate the theories of political economist Henry George. Her concept, called "The Landlord's Game," intended to demonstrate the unfairness of the land system. But, though home-made versions spread across the States, the game was only picked up for official distribution after being spotted by entrepreneur Charles Darrow in Atlantic City. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how little Magee was financially compensated, despite having a patent on the game; explain why the London version of the board has been played in more territories than the Atlantic City version; and consider the merits of spin-offs Gayopoly, Drinkopoly, and even the ‘Love Actually' version… Further Reading: • ‘Lizzie Magie invented Monopoly, so why haven't we heard of her?'

Author Mary Pilon visits Google to discuss her book, "The Monopolists". The book reveals the unknown story of how the classic board game Monopoly came into existence, the reinvention of its history by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins. Most people think Monopoly was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily--and richly--ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game--underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today--was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust.  A fascinating social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, "The Monopolists" reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers.

C'est en effet une femme du nom de Lizzie Magie qui a inventé le jeu qui est à l'origine du Monopoly. Son jeu s'appelait "The Landlord's Game" (Le jeu du propriétaire foncier) et avait pour objectif d'illustrer les conséquences négatives de la concentration de la propriété foncière. Lizzie Magie était une militante en faveur de la réforme foncière et voulait utiliser son jeu pour éduquer les gens sur ces questions.Bienvenue dans « Purple Theorie", le podcast qui explore les questions de féminisme à travers la culture, l'histoire et bien plus encore.Chaque chronique nous entraine dans les trajectoires féministes, en abordant des questions culturelles, historiques et philosophiques.

Monopoly is the most successful and popular board game of the modern world and it was invented in the 1930s by Charles Darrow. OR WAS IT? While fighting a court case against Parker Brothers in the 1970s, Richard Anspach discovered that the game might actually have been designed by a woman named Lizzie Magie. This history of Monopoly is one of mystery, conspiracy, and corporate cover up.  You can find the Full Video version of the show over on YouTube at  https://www.youtube.com/@RememberRememberPodcast Contact us at  - RememberRememberShow@gmail.com  Twitter - @RememberCast https://twitter.com/RememberCast Instagram - @rememberrememberpod https://www.instagram.com/rememberrememberpod/ Find everything about the show over on our Website - https://www.rememberrememberpodcast.com/ Artwork and logos were made by Mary Hanson @MermaidVexa

La escritora feminista e inventora de juegos Lizzie Magie lo creó para enseñar cómo funcionan las sociedades capitalistas, y cómo podrían ser reformadas. Pero de los dos sets de reglas originales de "El juego del terrateniente", solo uno logró sobrevivir gracias al interés del público y las empresas. Andrés Kalawski y Paula Molina lanzan los dados mientras cuentan esta historia de negocios, prosperidad y monopolios.

Our episode today comes from our most recent panel discussion titled Monopoly! The Real Story Behind America's Most Popular Game. This talk explores the true origins of the board game and how its original creator intended it as a way to learn about Georgism. Most do not know this, including myself before listening to the talk, but the inventor, Lizzie Magie, was a sharp political commentator of her time. Using all sorts of creative methods, including the board game itself, Lizzie was a shrewd political critic of her era. As a progressive during the gilded age, Ms. Magie used her voice to shed light on the struggles of civil rights movements. If you love programs on how companies are started or how things are made, you'll definitely want to check out this episode. Our talk is hosted by our Director of Education, Ibrahima Drame, who is joined by author and journalist, Mary Pilon.

Troppo spesso le invenzioni fatte dalle donne vengono brevettate da un uomo e le inventrici riconosciute ufficialmente sono ancora troppo poche. Persino l'edizione speciale del gioco Monopoli, dedicato alle inventrici, dimentica di riconoscere la vera maternità del gioco, inventato da una donna.Tutti i link alla fine della pagina, dopo la traduzione in inglese.TRASCRIZIONE [English translation below]Donne in ascolto, se avete mai inventato qualcosa, correte subito all'ufficio brevetti per brevettarla e fate attenzione che non arrivi un maschio a rubarvi l'invenzione.Questo è quello che succede molto spesso quando una donna inventa qualcosa, dai tempi dei tempi. Ho scoperto qualche giorno fa che il dispositivo per segnalare nelle auto, le frecce, quelle che si mettono quando si deve girare, si deve fare una curva, sono state inventate da una donna, un'attrice, Florence Lawrens, nel 1915, un'attrice che doveva essere anche molto di successo perché all'epoca si acquistò una macchina con i suoi soldi, quindi grande libertà, grande indipendenza, e poi era una a cui piaceva anche mettere le mani nel motore, ripararsi la macchina eccetera, e inventò un dispositivo per segnalare quando doveva girare a destra o a sinistra. Purtroppo però Florence dimenticò di brevettare questo dispositivo, per cui poi arrivò il solito maschio che nel 1929 brevettò la segnalazione delle auto. Il nome del tipo non ve lo dico, peggio per lui che ha rubato l'idea alla nostra Florence.Florence tra l'altro veniva da una famiglia molto interessante, anche la madre era un inventrice, aveva inventato, qualche anno dopo che la figlia inventò e le frecce, inventò il tergicristallo per tenere il vetro della macchina pulito, quindi una famiglia fantastica di inventrice.Un'altra inventrice che è stata dimenticata è Lizzie Magie che inventò i Monopoli. Lo inventò all'inizio del Novecento, nel 1904, come un gioco che avrebbe dovuto dimostrare come con il capitalismo non vinceva nessuno, ma tutti perdevano. Lo brevettò anche, and all'ufficio brevetti, solo che poi lo vendette per una miseria, e qualcun altro, diversi anni più tardi, lo brevetto a suo nome, un altro maschio di cui non vi dico il nome.Una cosa interessante è che qualche anno fa Monopoli ha pubblicato un'edizione speciale dedicata alle donne inventrice, dove in ogni casella, anziché il nome della strada, c'è il nome di una inventrice. Manca però Lizzie Magie che inventò appunto il gioco dei Monopoli.Come siamo messi a invenzioni oggi? In Italia siamo messi maluccio solo il 14% delle donne va all'ufficio brevetti a brevettare l'invenzione, anche se devo dire che in Sardegna le cose vanno piuttosto bene perché la Sardegna è la prima regione in Italia per inventrici: il 27,9% delle invenzioni viene registrato da una donna, e la Sardegna è 5ª in Europa, quindi donne sarde inventrici continuate a inventare ma soprattutto continuate ad andare all'ufficio brevetti e mettere il vostro nome. Fate attenzione che qualche maschio non vi freghi l'invenzione.TRANSLATIONWomen listening, if you have ever invented something, run immediately to the patent office to patent it and be careful that a male does not come and steal your invention.This is what happens very often when a woman invents something, since time immemorial. I discovered a few days ago that the device for signaling cars, the indicators, the ones you put on when you have to turn, you take a curve, were invented by a woman, an actress, Florence Lawrens, in 1915, an actress who must have also been very successful because at the time she bought a car with her own money, therefore great freedom, great independence, and then she was someone who also liked to put her hands in the engine, repair her car, etc., and she invented a device to signal when turning right or left.Unfortunately, however, Florence forgot to patent this device, so then the usual male arrived who in 1929 patented the car indicators. I won't tell you the name of the guy, too bad for him who stole the idea from our Florence. Among other things, Florence came from a very interesting family, her mother was also an inventor, she invented, a few years after her daughter invented the indicators, she invented the windshield wiper to keep the glass of the car clean, therefore a fantastic family of inventor.Another inventor who has been forgotten is Lizzie Magie who invented Monopoly. She invented it at the beginning of the twentieth century, in 1904, as a game that was supposed to demonstrate how with capitalism no one wins, but everyone loses. She patented it too, went to the patent office, but then she sold it for a pittance, and somebody else, several years later, patented it in his name, another male whose name I won't tell you.An interesting thing is that a few years ago Monopoly published a special edition dedicated to female inventors, where in each spot, instead of the street name, there is the name of a female inventor. Too bad that Lizzie Magie, who invented the Monopoly game, is missing.How are we at female inventors today? In Italy we are in a bad shape only 14% of women go to the patent office to patent the invention, even if I must say that in Sardinia things are going quite well because Sardinia is the first region in Italy for female inventors: 27.9 % of inventions are registered by a woman, and Sardinia is 5th in Europe, so Sardinian women inventors keep inventing but above all keep going to the patent office and putting your name. Be careful that some male does not steal the invention.LINKS: La donna che inventò Monopoli https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_MagieL'edizione speciale di Monopoli (senza il nome dell'inventrice del gioco) https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/09/11/ms-monopoly-female-inventor-lizzie-magie/La spettacolare Florence Lawrence, femminista, inventrice e attrice (ma ancora non ci avete fatto un film?) https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_LawrenceQualche numero sulle inventrici in Italia e in Sardegna https://www.lastampa.it/esteri/2022/11/08/news/quante_sono_le_inventrici_in_italia_tutti_i_numeri_dei_brevetti_nel_mondo-12226363/

For generations, Monopoly has been America's favorite board game, a love letter to unbridled capitalism and — for better or worse — the impulses that make our free-market society tick. But behind the myth of the game's creation is an untold tale of theft, obsession and corporate double-dealing. Part detective story, part sharp social commentary and part pop-culture celebration, Ruthless: Monopoly's Secret History presents the fascinating true story behind America's favorite game. Contrary to the folksy legend spread by Parker Brothers, Monopoly's secret history is a surprising saga that features a radical feminist, Lizzie Magie. a community of Quakers in Atlantic City, America's greatest game company, and an unemployed Depression-era engineer. According to the official origin story, during the Great Depression, an amateur inventor named Charles Darrow sketched out the now-famous Monopoly board on a piece of oilcloth on his kitchen table. His game became a best-seller, Darrow became a wealthy man, and Parker Brothers was saved from bankruptcy. It was a classic American success story. But it wasn't true. The real story behind the creation of the game might never have come to light if it weren't for the determination of an economics professor and impassioned anti-monopolist named Ralph Anspach. Director and writer Stephen Ives joins us to talk about his own journey to unlock the vault of obfuscation and corporate greed regarding the forgotten history of this distinctively American rite of passage / iconic board game.

For thousands of years, humans have been making and playing what we know today as board games.  Sometimes the boards were drawn in the dirt or woven from cloth, however the essence of the modern day tabletop games most certainly have their roots in ancient times, spread far throughout the world.  This episode is about ancient games all the way up to the Milton Bradley and Parker Bros. days of glory. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/talkstupid2me)

This week, we're sharing a special episode of a podcast we think you might like. It's called Cautionary Tales, and it's made by Tim Harford and the team at Pushkin Industries. You may remember Tim from our recent episode on economic storytelling. On his podcast, Tim draws on history and social science to vividly retell the stories of great crimes, accidents and disasters of the past - pointing out valuable lessons for us all from the dithering, death and destruction.In this episode, Tim tells the story of Lizzie J. Magie (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter!), who should be celebrated as the inventor of what would become Monopoly - but her role in creating the smash hit board game was cynically ignored, even though she had a patent.Discrimination has marred the careers of many inventors and shut others out from the innovation economy entirely. Could crediting forgotten figures such as Lizzie Magie help address continuing disparities in the patenting of new inventions?You can hear more episodes of Cautionary Tales at https://link.chtbl.com/newbazaarcautionary.

If you can tell me what was created in 1903 by Lizzie Magie, I will pronounce you to be a trivia master. The answer is, the board game, Monopoly. Fortunate is the person or business who has been able to monopolize something well enough to make a living. The realities of life don't allow us to be in control, so who is?

The game lacked many of its core promised features when it launched, resulting in heavy fan backlash. Within two years of its rollout, the tide started turning in No Man's Sky's favor, thanks in large part to updates that transformed the experience. NEXT counted as the first of such changes, ushering in multiplayer gameplay options that Hello Games teased in the lead up to launch. This particular update also overhauled the graphics and introduced refined base-building mechanics. Hello Games' efforts didn't stop there either; as such, the redemption arc for No Man's Sky has been rather impressive to watch unfold.

A 1996 American post-apocalyptic action film co-written, co-scored, and directed by John Carpenter, co-written and produced by Debra Hill and Kurt Russell, with Russell also starring as Snake Plissken. A sequel to Escape from New York, Escape from L.A. co-stars Steve Buscemi, Stacy Keach, Bruce Campbell, and Pam Grier. The film gained a strong cult following. The film was in development for over 10 years. At one point, a script was commissioned in 1987 and was written by screenwriter Coleman Luck, with Dino De Laurentiis's company producing. Carpenter later described the script as "too light, too campy". In time, Carpenter and Kurt Russell got together to write with their long-time collaborator Debra Hill. Carpenter insists that Russell's persistence allowed the film to be made, since "Snake Plissken was a character he loved and wanted to play again." At the beginning of the film, Kurt Russell wears his costume from the original film, which still fits after fifteen years. The film takes place in 2013.10th August 2021 – 60th Anniversary of Operation Ranch Hand, spraying an estimated 20 million US gallons (76,000 m3) of defoliants and herbicides over rural areas of South Vietnam in an attempt to deprive the Viet Cong of food and vegetation cover - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ranch_HandOperation Ranch Hand was a U.S. military operation during the Vietnam War, lasting from 1962 until 1971. Largely inspired by the British use of 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D (Agent Orange) during the Malayan Emergency in the 1950s, it was part of the overall herbicidal warfare program during the war called "Operation Trail Dust". Ranch Hand involved spraying an estimated 20 million U.S. gallons (76,000 m3) of defoliants and herbicides over rural areas of South Vietnam in an attempt to deprive the Viet Cong of food and vegetation cover. Areas of Laos and Cambodia were also sprayed to a lesser extent. Nearly 20,000 sorties were flown between 1961 and 1971. The herbicides were sprayed by the U.S. Air Force flying C-123s using the call sign "Hades". The planes were fitted with specially developed spray tanks with a capacity of 1,000 U.S. gallons (4 m3) of herbicides. A plane sprayed a swath of land that was 80 meters wide and 16 kilometers (10 mi) long in about 4½ minutes, at a rate of about 3 U.S. gallons per acre (3 m3/km2). Sorties usually consisted of three to five aircraft flying side by side. 95% of the herbicides and defoliants used in the war were sprayed by the U.S. Air Force as part of Operation Ranch Hand. The remaining 5% were sprayed by the U.S. Chemical Corps, other military branches, and the Republic of Vietnam using hand sprayers, spray trucks, helicopters and boats, primarily around U.S. military installations. The use of herbicides in the Vietnam War was controversial from the beginning, particularly for crop destruction. The scientific community began to protest the use of herbicides in Vietnam as early as 1964, when the Federation of American Scientists objected to the use of defoliants. In 1967, seventeen Nobel laureates and 5,000 other scientists signed a petition asking for the immediate end to the use of herbicides in Vietnam. According to the Vietnamese government, the US program exposed approximately 4.8 million Vietnamese people to Agent Orange, resulted in 400,000 deaths due to a range of cancers and other ailments. The Vietnamese population has suffered a range of ailments with three million Vietnamese people suffering health problems, one million birth defects caused directly by exposure to Agent Orange, and 24% of the area of Vietnam being defoliated.12th August 2021 – 40th birthday of the IBM 5150 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer#DebutOn August 12, 1981, Don Esteridge, who was unknown at the time, announced the release of the new personal computer created by his company. The head of development at IBM Entry Level Systems presented the 5150, or IBM PC, a concept that would revolutionize the computer industry forever. The machine was based on open architecture and a substantial market of third-party peripherals, expansion cards and software grew up rapidly to support it. The PC had a substantial influence on the personal computer market. The specifications of the IBM PC became one of the most popular computer design standards in the world, and the only significant competition it faced from a non-compatible platform throughout the 1980s was from the Apple Macintosh product line. The majority of modern personal computers are distant descendants of the IBM PC.Pricing started at $1,565 for a configuration with 16K RAM, Color Graphics Adapter, and no disk drives. The price was designed to compete with comparable machines in the market. For comparison, the Datamaster, announced two weeks earlier as IBM's least expensive computer, cost $10,000. IBM's marketing campaign licensed the likeness of Charlie Chaplin's character "The Little Tramp" for a series of advertisements based on Chaplin's movies, played by Billy Scudder. The PC was IBM's first attempt to sell a computer through retail channels rather than directly to customers. Reception was overwhelmingly positive, with sales estimates from analysts suggesting billions of dollars in sales over the next few years, and the IBM PC immediately became the talk of the entire computing industry. Dealers were overwhelmed with orders, including customers offering pre-payment for machines with no guaranteed delivery date. By the time the machine was shipping, the term "PC" was becoming a household name.Remembrances10th August 2010 - David L. Wolper - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_L._WolperAmerican television and film producer, responsible for shows such as Roots, The Thorn Birds, North and South, L.A. Confidential, and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971). He was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 57th Academy Awards in 1985 for his work producing the opening and closing ceremonies of the XXIIIrd Olympiad, Los Angeles 1984 as well as helping to bring the games to L.A. His 1971 film (as executive producer) about the study of insects, The Hellstrom Chronicle, won an Academy Award. On March 13, 1974, one of his crews filming a National Geographic history of Australopithecus at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area was killed when their Sierra Pacific Airlines Corvair 440 slammed into the White Mountains shortly after takeoff from Eastern Sierra Regional Airport in Bishop, California, killing all 35 on board, including 31 Wolper crew members. The filmed segment was recovered in the wreckage and was broadcast in the television series Primal Man. The cause of the crash remains unsolved. In 1988, Wolper was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame. For his work on television, he had received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He died from congestive heart disease and complications of Parkinson's disease at the age of 82 in Beverly Hills, California.Famous Birthdays10th August 1889 – Charles Darrow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_DarrowAmerican who modified the design of Lizzie Magie's original invention The Landlord's Game. He became the first millionaire game designer in history, and although Magie patented her invention she received only $500. Parker Brothers falsely credited Darrow as the original inventor. While Darrow eventually sold his version of Monopoly to Parker Brothers, claiming it to be his own invention, modern historians credit Darrow as just one of the game's final developers. Monopoly is a board game which focuses on the acquisition of fictional real estate titles, with the incorporation of elements of chance. After losing his job at a sales company following the Stock Market Crash of 1929, Darrow worked at various odd jobs. Seeing his neighbors and acquaintances play a board game in which the object was to buy and sell property, he decided to publish his own version of the game, with the help of his first son, William, and his wife Esther. Darrow marketed his version of the game under the name Monopoly. In truth, Darrow was just one of many people in the American Midwest and East Coast who had been playing a game of buying and trading property. The game's direct ancestor was The Landlord's Game, created by Elizabeth Magie. The Darrow family initially made their game sets on flexible, round pieces of oilcloth instead of rigid, square carton. Charles drew the designs of the properties with drafting pens, and his son and wife filled in the spaces with colors and made the title deed cards and Chance and Community Chest cards. In 1970, three years after Darrow's death, Atlantic City placed a commemorative plaque in his honor on The Boardwalk, near the corner of Park Place. In 1973 Ralph Anspach, an economics professor at San Francisco State University, produced Anti-Monopoly, a game similar to Monopoly, and for this was sued by Parker Brothers. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.Events of Interest10th August 1960 – Dinosaurus! was released - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053768/ On this day in 1960, it was 'Jurassic Park' all over again with the release of Dinosaurus! The feature starred Ward Ramsey and Kristina Hanson, and here's the plot summary: "After undersea explosions near a Caribbean island, prehistoric creatures are unleashed on the unsuspecting population. Freed from his watery tomb, as well, is a very friendly Neanderthal man who proceeds to befriend a local orphan boy. The boy, Neanderthal and irritated dinosaur make for an interesting dramatic climax." The leading role was intended for Steve McQueen, who starred in The Blob two years earlier, also produced by Harris and directed by Yeaworth. McQueen passed on the film to make The Magnificent Seven instead. The dinosaurs were filmed using the technique of stop-motion animation as well as puppets for close-ups. The film promulgates the naïve idea that herbivorous animals (such as the brontosaurus) are not dangerous (a similar claim was made in Spielberg's 'Jurassic Park', 1993). The cape buffalo is one of the most aggressive and dangerous animals in Africa (and only weighs about 5% of what a brontosaurus is estimated to have weighed). Marcel Delgado was given less than half the time originally agreed upon to create the dinosaur models used in the film. The studio initially agreed to give him five to six weeks, as he requested, but two weeks later he was told that they would begin production on Tuesday. When Betty is captured by the neanderthal and taken to his cave, she's wearing a white dress and a pearl necklace. Combined with her red hair, she bears a striking resemblance to Wilma Flintstone, one of the stars of the TV cartoon series "The Flintstones" (1960), which would debut on American television one month after this movies US release (coincidentally, Betty is the name of Wilma's best friend).10th August 1990 – The Magellan space probe reaches Venus. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magellan_(spacecraft)#Orbital_encounter_of_Venus On August 10, 1990, the American Magellan probe, named after the explorer Ferdinand Magellan, arrived at its orbit around the planet and started a mission of detailed radar mapping at a frequency of 2.38 GHz. It began the orbital insertion maneuver which placed the spacecraft into a three-hour, nine minute, elliptical orbit that brought the spacecraft 295-kilometers from the surface at about 10 degrees North during the periapsis and out to 7762-kilometers during apoapsis. During each orbit, the space probe captured radar data while the spacecraft was closest to the surface, and then transmit it back to Earth as it moved away from Venus. This maneuver required extensive use of the reaction wheels to rotate the spacecraft as it imaged the surface for 37-minutes and as it pointed toward Earth for two hours. The primary mission intended for the spacecraft to return images of at least 70 percent of the surface during one Venusian day, which lasts 243 Earth days as the planet slowly spins. To avoid overly-redundant data at the highest and lowest latitudes, the Magellan probe alternated between a Northern-swath, a region designated as 90 degrees north latitude to 54 degrees south latitude, and a Southern-swath, designated as 76 degrees north latitude to 68 degrees south latitude. However, due to periapsis being 10 degrees north of the equatorial line, imaging the South Pole region was unlikely. The resulting maps were comparable to visible-light photographs of other planets, and are still the most detailed in existence. Magellan greatly improved scientific understanding of the geology of Venus: the probe found no signs of plate tectonics, but the scarcity of impact craters suggested the surface was relatively young, and there were lava channels thousands of kilometers long.IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamated See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Every now and then, our Dudes stumble onto a topic by chance. This week, Erin and Nicole planned to talk about how contentious the game of Monopoly can be, some of the longest games ever played, and some of the worst franchised boards (KISS Monopoly, anyone?). They talk about all that stuff, but the big surprise was the story of Lizzie Magie, the inventor of Monopoly. She was a feminist, a Georgist, a writer, an activist - so many amazing things. And she was 100% d*cked over by Parker Brothers and some douche who would go on to make a MILLION DOLLARS for her idea.SHOW INFORMATIONHosted and produced by Nicole Mackie and Erin Saul, as part of the Whohaha Podcast NetworkMerch: Dude, That's F****d Up StorePatreon: Patreon.com/DTFUPodcastFacebook Page: @DFTUPodcastFacebook Group: Listeners of Dude, That's F****d UpInstagram: @DTFUPodcastTwitter: @DTFUPodcastYouTube: DTFUPodcastWebsite: DTFUPodcast.comEmail: DTFUPodcast@gmail.comMusic: The Hands of StoneArtwork: Brad Walters DesignSubscribe: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lizzie J. Magie (played by Helena Bonham Carter) should be celebrated as the inventor of what would become Monopoly - but her role in creating the smash hit board game was cynically ignored, even though she had a patent. Discrimination has marred the careers of many inventors and shut others out from the innovation economy entirely. Could crediting forgotten figures such as Lizzie Magie help address continuing disparities in the patenting of new inventions?

The inside story of the world's most famous board game-a buried piece of American history with an epic scandal that continues today. The Monopolists: Obsession, Fury, and the Scandal Behind the World's Favorite Board Game (Bloomsbury, 2015) reveals the unknown story of how Monopoly came into existence, the reinvention of its history by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins. Most think it was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily--and richly--ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game--underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today--was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust. A gripping social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, The Monopolists reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers. Mary Pilon is a journalist, screenwriter, and author of the bestselling books "The Monopolists" and "The Kevin Show" as well as co-host and co-author of “Twisted: The Story of Larry Nassar and the Women Who Brought Him Down.” Her work regularly appears in the New Yorker, Esquire, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Vice, New York, and The New York Times, among other publications.

Most think it was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily--and richly--ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game--underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today--was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust. A gripping social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, The Monopolists reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers. Mary Pilon is a journalist, screenwriter, and author of the bestselling books "The Monopolists" and "The Kevin Show" as well as co-host and co-author of “Twisted: The Story of Larry Nassar and the Women Who Brought Him Down.” Her work regularly appears in the New Yorker, Esquire, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Vice, New York, and The New York Times, among other publications.

The game of monopoly has been a popular talk of the town ever since its launch. Its unique card buying and selling features makes it a really fun game with equally healthy competition. Monopoly presently distributed by Hasbro. Each side of the square board is isolated into 10 little square shapes addressing explicit properties, railways, utilities, a prison, and different spots and occasions. Toward the beginning of the game, every player is given a fixed measure of play cash; the players at that point move around the board as per the toss of a couple of dice. Any player who lands on an unowned property may get it, in any case, on the off chance that the individual grounds on a property possessed by another player, the lease should be paid to that player. Monopoly has become a piece of worldwide mainstream society, having been authorized locally in more than 103 nations and imprinted over 37 dialects. The history of Monopoly goes all the way back to 1903 when American antimonopolist Lizzie Magie made a game. She trusted that Monopoly would clarify the single-charge hypothesis of Henry George. It was expected as an instructive apparatus to delineate the negative parts of amassing land in private restraining infrastructures. She took out a patent in 1904. Her game, The Landlord's Game, was independently published, starting in 1906. A few variation tabletop games, in light of Magie's idea, were created from 1906 through the 1930s. They included both the way toward purchasing land for its turn of events and the offer of any lacking property. Cardboard houses were added and leases expanded as they were added to a property. Magie licensed the game again in 1923.

Emma, Gil, and Scott have a roundtable discussion in which they discuss the three sales channels, or markets, your board game can be available in: hobby, specialty, and mass. What are the differences between them, and how can a game move from one to another? SHOW NOTES 0m48s: Erica and Sen are joining the show! You can watch them in the Meeple Syrup Show. Some of Sen's games: Junk Art, Akotiri, and Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall. Some of Erica's games: Bosk, Roar: King of the Pride, Kodama 3D, Scott Pilgrim Miniatures The World, Steven Universe: Beach-A-Palooza, and the forthcoming Rat Queens. Here's Sen's appearance on Ludology 236 - Role With It. 2m11s: The hobby "classics": Catan, Carcassonne. The new hotness as of this recording: Bonfire, Carnegie (which is so hot, it's not even out yet...).  2m55s: More info about PSI, the sales agent Gil (and many other publishers) use to sell their games to publishers. 4m11s: Yep. 4m36s: Wingspan, Terraforming Mars, Codenames 11m15s: Phoenix Games and Mox Boarding House in Seattle. Emma also mentions Century: Spice Road, Exploding Kittens, Just One, and her game Abandon All Artichokes. 16m49s: Gloomhaven: JOTL, Pan Am 17m46s: Yes, Gil's told this anecdote before. He's talking about Avowel, the mobile version of his game Wordsy. 27m00s: Wingspan was written up in both the New York Times and Smithsonian Magazine, among others. 33m17s: We had Kim Vandenbrouke on in Ludology 212 - Inventing Play. 40m03s: Yes, Gil made the same point in the last episode. Still relevant! 41m37s: Not sure why Gil brought up Root but completely forgot about Fort, from the same publisher! It's a better example. 44m24s: The idea of affordances and signifiers from a design standpoint was popularized by Donald Norman in his book The Design of Everyday Things. This subject came up when we chatted with game designer and graphic designer Daniel Solis in Ludology 204 - The Eyes Have It. 45m11s: Kingdom Builder 47m39s: Seven Wonders 50m01s: The story of Lizzie Magie, Charles Darrow, and the way The Landlord's Game eventually became Monopoly is worth knowing about. You can read about it here. 55m51s: Verrater and Muerter.  59m12s: Emma and Gil gushed about their Quivers a bit more than they expected to!  1h01m27s: Red Raven made their game Megaland exclusive to Target when it was released in 2018. The Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game also had components exclusive to Target. 1h04m23s: Scott is referring to the mechanism in each game in the Betrayal family of games, in which the game assigns one player to turn against the other players in one of dozens of wildly different scenarios. 1h08m31s: We discussed complexity in Ludology 238 - Unraveling Complexity. 1h11m33s: Gil likes to occasionally return to this lukewarm review of Catan from 1998, complaining about game length, runaway leader, and balance issues.

Also, more info about Scott's forthcoming game Alien: Fate of the Nostromo.

In which Matt tells the story of Lizzie Magie, the true inventor of the Monopoly, Phil questions the fun of a socialism-themed board game, and we realize we may be the reason our friends don't like playing games with us.

Danny, Joe and Matt from the Boomer Death Squad (@boomerdeathpod) podcast join us to discuss the largely unknown history behind the Monopoly board game. At the turn of the century, a leftist political activist, resolute feminist, and fascinating renaissance women named Lizzy Magie, created a game to educate others about the evils of accumulated wealth. Follow the winding causal chain of events that led to the complete theft and inversion of her vision and, in true monopolistic form, basically erased her and her original creation from history, absorbing it all and shitting out these cardboard widgets called "Monopoly" that seize upon the worst of human instincts and continue to turn profits for the Hasbro and Parker Brothers cartels.

Emma and Gil welcome Dr. Mary Flanagan, designer of Monarch, Visitor in Blackwood Grove, Buffalo, Awkward Moment, and plethora of other games in a myriad of styles and platforms, from party to strategy on digital in tabletop. Dr. Flanagan is also an artist, having exhibited works (many game-related) all around the world, and teaches game design at Dartmouth, who also hosts her game design and research lab, Tiltfactor. We discuss designing games from the perspectives of fun and meaningful change. How does one make a transformative game that players actually enjoy, but that is still effective at building empathy and fighting prejudice? CONTENT WARNING: There is a brief mention of racial prejudice, and sexual assault in literary works towards the end of the episode. SHOW NOTES 0m21s: "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence. This video explains it, and other lexically ambiguous sentences. 1m21s: Tiltfactor, Dr. Flanagan's game design and research lab at Dartmouth  1m57s: If you're reading this, congratulations, you're reading the show notes! 3m58s: Professor Scott Rogers covered The Game of The Goose in Biography of a Board Game 221.5. 4m27s: For more information on these French Revolution-themed versions of Game of the Goose (Jeu de la Revolution Francaise), check out page 17 of this PDF. It's also interesting to note that Robespierre attempted to install a new state religion for France during the Revolution, the Cult of the Supreme Being (Culte de l'Être suprême); it's entirely possible that its dogma was reinforced through things like board games. Perhaps it also helped with the bizarre decimal-time-based calendar that Robespierre couldn't get to stick, but that still frustrates historians to this day. 5m30s: More information about Dr. Flanagan's book, Critical Play. 6m39s: The Landlord's Game by Lizzie Magie is the game that Monopoly was based on. 7m51s: September 12: A Toy World is a game where a player is trying to kill terrorists by firing missiles at a village. But every terrorist you kill creates more terrorists, as the locals get angrier at your actions. Soon, the village is gone and you are surrounded by terrorists. There is no way to win the game through shooting. 7m56s: Paolo Pedercini also makes commentary games. (Note that this link contains adult content.)

Journalist Mary Pilon, in her page-turning book The Monopolists, hunts down the true story of the woman who invented the most popular board game in the world. Monopoly inventor and forgotten feminist Lizzie Magie died in 1948, thinking she was a failure, having received a total of $500 for the rights to her game. We hear about Magie's vision and mission for the game, as well as her futile fight to defend her work and legacy, which Pilon resolutely revives from the sidelines of history. 

It's 1902 and political campaigner Lizzie Magie is fighting a losing battle.

She’s going to make a board game – and not just any game.

Money matters! In today’s world, it is not possible to think a single day without money. Everything that we are doing it for money. But do we really know how to handle this precious asset in a better way? Most of us don’t know. Do you want to know a fun way to learn about how to handle money? And there is no better option than Monopoly! Monopoly is a broad game. This game is currently published by Hasbro. It is derived from the Landlord’s Game which is created by Lizzie Magie in 1903. It was first published by Parker Brothers in 1935. They kept the name after the economic concept of monopoly.

The report this week focuses on Elizabeth “Lizzie” Magie and a truly hidden story from history. We all know the world-famous board game Monopoly, but do we really know the story behind it? The official story is a rags to riches story: Charles Darrow, unemployed and out of money, dreamt up the unique game that went on to be a mega hit. In reality, a fascinating woman named Lizzie Magie had a major part to play in the story 30 years earlier. This is the story of Monopoly!

What kind of capitalist are you? Did you play Monopoly for hours with your family in hopes of owning all the land and hoarding all the money? Guess what? That's not how the game was originally meant to be played. And remember the sweet story of the inventor of Monopoly, Charles Darrow, a poor man, destitute and desperate to support his wife and children on a lowly electrician's salary-only to come to amazing riches once he invented and sold the exciting game of Monopoly to the Parker Brothers monopoly? That's not how the game was originally invented either.  It was all the works of the brilliant Lizzie Magie, who owned the patent for the Landlord's Game-the original monopoly game, which by the way included the anti-monopoly version.  Join us for the tale of Lizzie, a woman who is very likely related to Beth, and a woman who said one of our most favorite quotes ever, "I'm glad I was taught how to think, not what to think."

Monopoly, arguably the most-famous board game, was invented by Charles Darrow. But many attribute the original idea to Lizzie Magie, a Quaker and the creator of the Landlord's Game, which bears... The latest in science, culture, and history from Smithsonian Channel.
