Did you know the original version of Monopoly was called "Landloard" and was patented by Elizabeth Magie in 1904? Charles Darrow commercialized it in the 1930s without crediting Magie.
In an effort to modernize the game, I've added some new rules. ๐
1. The banker gets a percentage of every transaction that happens.
2. The banker can arbitrarily determine the mortgage rates on properties at any time.
3. A non-playing "referee" can change any rule at any point of the game including how much each player gets by passing GO.
4. They also get a percentage of every transaction along with a fee on each property when the owner lands on it. This fee is arbitrary and is based on the seating position of each player.
5. Each property owner must obtain permission, and pay a fee to the "referee" before building on a property.
6. It is permissible to offer money to the "referee" to change the rules to a player's advantage, especially the banker's.
7. The "referee" can issue new money (like the banker) and give it to any player on the board (see rule 5) in "an emergency". They must pay the banker a fee to facilitate these transactions.
