Ralph Anspach, an economics prof at USF, developed a game called   
"Anti-Monopoly"--only to be stopped in his tracks by Hasbro, who had taken   
over Monopoly from Parker Bros. There ensued a 10 year lawsuit which   
Anspach eventually won. He showed that, contra Parker Brothers's claim to   
have "bought" the game from an alleged creator, Monopoly was in fact a   
widely-played public-domain game invented decades earlier by a Georgist   
Quaker woman. Nonetheless, Anspach continues to face extra-legal obstacles   
to marketing. His book, The Billion-Dollar Monopoly Swindle, is a hilarious   
account of real life monopoly. See Anspach's website, www.antimonopoly.com.
