charles darrow

Charles Darrow is widely considered to be the inventor of the board game Monopoly; however in 1973 a San Francisco State University economics professor named Ralph Anspach, invented Anti-Monopoly, and for this was sued by Parker Brothers. In a 10 year suit that went all the way to the Supreme Court, it was discovered that Darrow had actually stolen the idea, copying down the rules directly (even the misspelling of Marven Gardens) from an earlier game created in 1904 known as The Landlords Game which also later spawned the game Finance.
