Buy and rent or sell properties so profitably that one becomes the wealthiest
player and eventual monopolist. The object of owning property is to collect
rents from opponents stopping there. Rentals are greatly increased by the
erection of houses and hotels, so it is wise to build them on some of your
building sites. |
The Trademark Number is not printed and the patent has only been applied for at this stage; Patent Application Number 3796-36. The Monopoly logo shows two trains approaching but heading in opposite directions. There are two houses between them, almost forming a mirror image and a smiling young Mr. Monopoly wearing morning suit and clutching a wad of £ notes. The original black boxes
are gone. The playing pieces are traditionally designed
trinkets which would be attached to a bracelet. In this early edition of the
game, the iron has a sold base, later editions have hollowed out bases. Embossed on the outer edge of the thimble is 'for a good girl'.
