In the depths of the Great Depression Charles Darrow became a millionaire, after inventing the classic boardgame Monopoly.

He consistently claimed credit for Monopoly--- even though he likely plagiarized most of it.

Ironically, the game was later used in a study that concludes people who become rich tend to miscredit their success.

Here's what Monopoly's gameplay and history teach us about ourselves.

Thanks! A lot of people feel games like Monopoly are great for teaching basic entrepreneurial skills. That hasn't been true in my experience, but I do feel it's a good game for finding out what other people are really like. Thanks for reading!
