The board game "Monopoly" is a variation of what board game?

The board game Monopoly is a variation of The Landlord's Game. The Landlord's Game was created by Elizabeth Magie in the early 20th century as a critique of monopolistic practices and wealth inequality. It embraced the concept of land grabbing and the accumulation of wealth, which later inspired the development of Monopoly by Charles Darrow. However, Darrow's version shifted the focus towards capitalism and profit-making, removing the original social and economic critique found in The Landlord's Game.
