The Easy Money board game by Milton Bradley was first published in 1935 and competed against all familiar game of Monopoly by Parker Brothers. Because of extreme similarities between the two games, Parker Brothers forced Milton Bradley to make a few changes to its game early on. The 1936 version of Easy Money reflects these alterations. Both games were inspired by a previous 1904 patented board game called The Landlord’s Game. The Landlord’s Game was invented by Elizabeth Magie, and since she later sold her patent to Parker Brothers for 500 dollars in 1935, Parker Brothers gained rights to the rules and unique features for that particular game. This in turn provided the company the exclusive ability to successfully market Monopoly which replicated The Landlord’s Game more closely and permitted them to force Milton Bradley to alter their game. Both games have their appeal and are fun to play. Monopoly, however, has gained the most popularity and has become one of the best well-known board games of the world. Nonetheless, Easy Money plays just as well as Monopoly and makes for a nice change on game night. A great collectible version! Stored in smoke free environment. We ship fast!
