Original ideas behind the Monopoly board

[Still Waters]

Beloved of households everywhere, these childhood favourites are a well-known addition to any play room.

But these patents show just how different the creator's original idea for their toy were, and how they evolved into the much-loved game they are today.

Monopoly began life in 1903 as 'The Landlord's Game'.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure I've read that Twister was inspired by the Kama Sutra.

Edit: (only saying)
