The Board Games
Three different games have been produced over the years:
The First one was the original
Anti-Monopoly
I game, launched In 1974.
It was a reverse-direction Monopoly game,
that the players start where Monopoly
ends. The board is monopolized in the beginning of the game and players compete
with each other to return this virtual economy back to a competitive, free
enterprise system. About a half a million units of this game were sold
world-wide. Unfortunately, many players did not understand the game since the
players were lawyers working for the Antitrust Department of the United States
government, the same kind of lawyers who have worked to convict Microsoft of
abusive monopoly power. But most players are not lawyers. To reach a wider
audience, this game was phased out to be replaced by a new invention by
Anspach,
Anti-Monoply II.
Second, was an upgrade of Monopoly, one which plays like Monopoly but
which has an Anti-Monopoly theme in which some players act like monopolists and
others like competitors. This game was also called
Anti-Monopoly II.
Third, we are reviving the anti-monopolistic message of the real inventors of
Monopoly in our new game: "the Original monopoly
game" .
Its game equipment included two games:
(1)
an Oil Cloth Atlantic City folk game which was stolen
from its inventors and then commercialized with some new art work as Monopoly,
and
(2)
a Create-Your-Own-Monopoly game which
revived the customization of an earlier
monopoly folk game.
