In the new Ms. Monopoly, women passing 'Go' will get to collect $240 in Monopoly money while men continue to collect the usual $200.
Magie created the Landlord Game in 1903 in effort to bring awareness to the greed of major monopolists like John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. The game functioned under two sets of rules: The first allowed all players to be rewarded when wealth was generated, while the second set of rules let players build up their own monopolies with the sole intention to beat opponents.
Magie filed a legal claim for the Landlord's Game, but more than 30 years later a man Charles Darrow sold his rendition of her game—which he dubbed Monopoly—to Parker Brothers, a New England board game maker who handed it over to Hasbro in 1991. While Darrow and Parker Brothers made millions for the game, Magie reportedly only gained $500 for the game which Monopoly was appropriated."Ms. Monopoly:" Extra cash when you pass go.
