Published by Parker Brothers, a subsidiary of Hasbro, the board game is named after the economic concept of a 'monopoly', or the domination of a market by a single entity.
Patented by Charles Darrow in 1935, Monopoly is noted as the most commercially-successful board game in the world, where players compete to bankrupt their opponents by the acquisition of real estate, utilities and cash.
The mascot for the game is a mustachioed man wearing a monocle named 'Mr. Monopoly', formerly known as 'Rich Uncle Pennybags'.

There have been numerous variations on the game including the recent "Transformers" and "Star Trek" themed games.
