Monopoly



Monopoly was first introduced by Parker Brothers 75 years ago, but many people today don’t realize that the colorful properties ringing the board are real places that can be visited, even when they’re strolling along Atlantic City’s famous Boardwalk. 
Since the game was created, more than one billion people have played it, making it "the most played (commercial) board game in the world."  The mascot for the game, known as Mr. Monopoly or Rich Uncle Pennybags, is an elderly mustached man in morning dress with a walking cane and top hat.
