I remember reading about this fraud case but thought it was limited to one game. It went on for years!

He made sure Canadians wouldn't win. Too inconvenient to find an accomplice there.

I remember the game but I didn’t know about the scam.

I don't know about the scam either but anytime someone rips off a billion dollar company based on their own stupidity AND the movie has Affleck and Damon... I'll be there

I've seen versions of Monopoly played at the Albertson's grocery store, and I've always shied away from it.
I like the game Monopoly, but it's morphing into something bigger than it was meant to be. Does Disney own it?

In 1991, Hasbro acquired Parker Bros. and thus Monopoly.
