The three most landed-on properties in the standard game are Illinois Avenue, "GO" and B&O Railroad.ħ.
To keep games shorter, a Speed Die was introduced into the standard game in 2008.Ħ. There are 40 spaces on the Monopoly board and 28 properties (22 color-coded streets, four railroads, and two utility spaces). Within a year of Monopoly's release in the U.S., 35,000 copies of the game were being made each week, selling for $2 apiece.Ĥ. The current standard version of the game includes eight tokens: battleship, top hat, Scottie dog, race car, thimble, boot, cat, and wheelbarrow.ģ. The first 10 tokens were an iron, purse, lantern, race car, thimble, shoe, top hat, battleship, cannon and a rocking horse. The houses and hotels were made from wooden molding scraps, and the die-cast tokens were inspired by Darrow's nieces, who recommended metal charms from charm bracelets be used. The original game Darrow sold to Parker Brothers contained items from his own home: A piece of oilcloth covered the board and the cards were handwritten. A stenographer and actress, Elizabeth Magie, filed a legal claim for her similar "Landlord's Game" in 1903, but Monopoly's current owner, Hasbro, says: "The Monopoly game as we know it today was designed by Charles Darrow."Ģ. Charles Darrow of Philadelphia developed the game in 1933 and sold it to Parker Brothers on March 19, 1935.
