Monopoly was originally called "The Landlord's Game" and it was invented by a woman in 1903.

It was meant to illustrate the dangers of unchecked capitalism.

Then it was stolen by a man and turned into the game we know today.

It was meant to illustrate the dangers of unchecked capitalism.

I mean, yeah, but also no. It was anti-land lord and was advocating Georgism and a land value tax. Georgism includes corporations as victims to land lord hoarding and doesn't criticize capitalism, per se.
