Back in the great depression when money was tough to come by, they came up with monopoly. It was kind of a way to fill the void and escape from the troubles of the world, like gambling to a lot of people today. Also, they had fake dollar bills, which apparently just felt good to hold and use as if it were real money.
Patented: 1933 by Charles Darrow The invention of the game Monopoly isn't readily known. Versions of the game can be traced back to the beginning of the industrial revolution.

You advance around the board by rolls of the dice, buying properties that you may later develop if you get all of that color. Spend your money wisely because you have to be able to pay the "rents" if you land on another person's properties. The high-end monopolies (green and medium blue) can charge the most rent, so owning them is often a key to winning. In a very long game, the supply of money in the bank may run out, and players may take a long time to go bankrupt, so you may want to have a "time limit" game instead.
According to the rules, players can make side deals to benefit each other. To avoid being "ganged up on" by other players, ideally play the game with 4 or 6 players, on 2 or 3 "teams." These can cooperate by buying and selling among themselves, although the game may still result in one strong team gaining an advantage.
A "monopoly" is the control of a commodity or service by one group (usually a small number of companies) so that they control the available supply - they can profit because they can charge whatever prices they want.
The board game of Monopoly applies this on a limited basis by allowing property owners to charge much larger rents when they have control of an area of the board (the colored property groups). By developing these even further with houses and hotels, they can command ever larger fees from other players who land on their properties. Property groups where monopolies are not formed can only charge comparative small rents and are thus at a competitive disadvantage.

What is the most money in free parking in Monopoly?
According to the official rules of the game of Monopoly, no reward of any kind is offered for landing on Free Parking. Many people play by "House Rules," and they often vary by community.
The game is started by putting $500 in the middle of the board. Each time you need to pay the bank for a Chance or Community Chest card, that payment, too, is put into the middle. When someone lands on Free Parking, he wins what is in the middle, and a new $500 bill is put in the center.
A similar local game variation is: When you land on Go, you receive double the amount ($400 instead of $200) from the bank.
