Anti-Monopoly
The real estate
trading game for the 21st century.
For 2-6 players
aged 8+
Ready for an update of the monopoly folk game invented by Elizabeth Magie 100
years ago? It’s a twist right out of
today’s headlines – free market competitors clash with ruthless monopolists.
In the real
business world, competitors and monopolists work hard to make money, but they
go about it in different ways.
Competitors sell their goods at the market price to make a profit. Monopolists, on the other hand, prefer to
wipe out their competitors so that they can fix prices above competitive levels
and make excessive profits.
Other real estate
trading games jumble competition and monopolies together. In Anti-Monopoly, however, players are
divided into competitors and monopolists before the game starts.
The two types of
players then follow different rules in their quest for big money. This method of play is a revolutionary idea
for games. In all other games, players
follow one set of rules. It is this idea
of movement and choice which allows Anti-Monopoly to be the first and only game
in history which clearly distinguishes between the actions of competitors and
monopolists.
Anti-Monopoly is
fun to play, easy to learn and can be played over and over.
