   @Rainer_Rehak @MarkHoltom - Here are the rules to various editions to Landlord And Prosperity, including images of the various board editions: https://landlordsgame.info/index.html

   Here is a "Print and Play" of Brer Fox an' Brer Rabbit: The Win-Win game (a UK version of the Monopoly / Landlord / Prosperity game: https://socialcredit.schooljotter2.com/resources/social-art/monopoly

   There are other Print and Plays out there. (Here is a list of many many different print and play games: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamecategory/1120/print-and-play )

   Basically, we don't have the lament that this game was not commercially produced; we can print the games for free on our own cardstock and enjoy them now.

   (We can even streamline and tweak the rules and cards and board and pieces and make modern versions that we share and share alike)

   There are various communities out there that discuss and do this, here is one such: https://www.reddit.com/r/printandplay/

     #Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
     One was called "#Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
     The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person eliminating everyone else.
     Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
     When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules & celebrated "Monopoly".
