All this time I’ve played Monopoly, and I just now learned that the “reading” in Reading Railroad is pronounced like “redding”. It took me playing our handheld Monopoly game from my childhood (yes, I’m young) to realize.
In my defense, I’m not from the area, and I’ve never been where it used to be, so I always just assumed Reading was pronounced normally, as I’m sure most people would. #Monopoly #MonopolyGame #ReadingRailroad

Yesterday, I played Monopoly on the NES and played an eight-player game where I set everyone’s cash to $0 just for the hell of it. After about fifteen minutes of auctions that went nowhere and people going bankrupt from the tax spaces and the fee to get out of jail, the game surprisingly turned into just a normal Monopoly game. #Monopoly #MonopolyGame #NES

@mattblaze I think when I was a child I said "Reeding"; when I was an adolescent and learned about the geography of England, I said "Redding". Now I discover that the child was right. Good to know.

Who is the rich #NewYorker the #MonopolyMan is based on?
At first glance, the board game Monopoly doesn’t seem like it has a New York City connection. The man who sold it to Parker Brothers in 1935 was from Philadelphia, and the board features properties in Atlantic City.
"Then there’s that mustached man long dubbed 'the Monopoly Man' or 'Mr. Monopoly.' He appears on the Chance and Community Chest cards, always in a Depression-era suit with a bowtie and top hat.
"But the Monopoly Man isn’t just a board game invention—this iconic character (who has an actual name, Rich #UnclePennybags) is supposedly based on the image of an actual New Yorker.
"So who is he? Apparently he’s modeled after banker #JPMorgan. Morgan’s company financed some of the #GildedAge’s biggest corporations. He consolidated railroads, helped rescue the gold standard, and helped stabilize financial markets during the Panic of 1907, according to History.com. His former mansion on Madison Avenue is now the Morgan Library.
"Phil Orbanes, a former VP at Parker Brothers and author of The Monopoly Companion, confirmed in this interview that the artist who drew Mr. Monopoly based him on J.P. Morgan."

@burgerbecky My guess is that if a landlord buys up all the houses in the area, it can A. rent them out at inflated prices or B. demolish the houses to make hotels. This is the kind of situation illustrated in Elizabeth Magie's Landlord's Game (later modified by Charles Darrow as Monopoly).

@dryak @PhilippBayer Good idea. If anyone has made a playable version of the #LandlordsGame using a modern #MonopolyGame set, or a recreation of the original, I'd be up for trying it out...

Time for board games 🎲
I really like the Monopoly game series. Pictured is a Monopoly for kids. My son likes to play it too.
What board games do you like to play?
