A Conversation for Monopoly Board Game

The Landlord's Game

I heard somewhere that Clarence Darrow ripped Monopoly off from the Landlord's Game, which was invented by two Amish schoolteachers. There were more details than that, but I've lost my source and I want somebody to confirm the details before I go into them. If nobody responds to this post in a couple weeks, I'll type out the story as I remember it, just to make sure it's here. No guarantees made about accuracy.

OK, I seem to have posted to an entry that has been abandoned slightly longer than Machu Picchu. Oh, well.

I found a source for the history of Monopoly. It turns out I was wrong, they weren't Amish, they were Quakers. Oh, well.
