I watched the second of Games Britannia's documentaries recently "Monopolies & Mergers" this documentary was all about the history of the game "Monopoly" a game that most likely everyone reading this will have played at some point, The game is over 100 years old at this point, a rather impressive statement considering how strong its name is today.
Monopoly or as it was called during its first release "The Landlords Game" was originally designed as a learning tool by a Social Activist called Elizabeth Maggie, from then on it was iterated and redeveloped by publishers and the like multiple times until eventually we ended up with the Monopoly we know and love today.
Interesting documentary overall.
