Custom Monopoly

Monopoly

What is Monopoly?

Monopoly is a popular game that revolves around trading property in order to obtain, well, a monopoly on the board. Originally created in 1903, it has become widely popular and is licensed locally in over 100 countries. By applying the SVU model (Simplicity, Variability, and Uniqueness), we can understand what makes this game so successful and learn how to make a custom game just like Monopoly.

  • Simplicity: while the standard version of Monopoly may be a bit confusing to younger players (1st graders don’t usually have a great grasp on the finer points of income tax), Monopoly has created a simpler version – Monopoly Junior – that is easier for kids to play.
  • Variability: the mechanics of Monopoly aren’t dependent on the theming of the game – meaning that there are several versions of Monopoly that will suit your interests. (Horse Lovers Monopoly, anyone?)
  • Uniqueness: Monopoly is, at its core, an educational game – it is based on a game invented by Lizzie Magie who wanted to show that monopolies have an overall negative impact on the economy.
