棋盘游戏Monopoly

我们很多人印象里的大富翁游戏可能是这个：大宇资讯出的电脑游戏

挺可爱的游戏，甚至有一张地图是仙剑奇侠传主题（大宇资讯公司也是仙剑奇侠传系列游戏的开发商），游戏对话非常有趣~

那么关于大富翁游戏历史细节是什么样的呢？我们一边贴文一边来解释一下：

The history of Monopoly can be traced back to 1903, when an American woman named Elizabeth (Lizzie) J. Magie Phillips created a game through which she hoped to be able to explain the single tax theory of Henry George (it was intended as an educational tool to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies ). Her game, The Landlord's Game, was self-published, beginning in 1906. A series of variant board games based on her concept were developed from 1906 through the 1930s that involved the buying and selling of land and the development of that land.

这一段说的是：有一位叫做Elizabeth (Lizzie) J. Magie Phillips的人设计了一个游戏来解释Henry George的单一税理论，这个单一税是啥呢？就是主张征收地价税，把地租转化为财政收入，以此实现土地国有化。从文献资料里来看这是一个批判私有土地制度、主张土地国有的理论。而她的这个游戏当时就叫做The Landlord’s Game，咱们拿大白话翻译就是大地主游戏......嗯，也就是大富翁游戏这个名儿的起源啦，这个游戏由她在1906年自行出版发行了，后来又产生了很多基于这个概念的棋盘游戏。

显然，这个理论背景成为了该游戏在大萧条时期广受欢迎的原因之一。一方面是迅速致富的美丽愿景，另一方面则是把经济理念转化成游戏语言之后的极大趣味性。话说我大学复习宏观经济的时候，为了方便记忆，把二部门经济里的生产要素跟大富翁结合起来背书...... 눈_눈

By 1933, a board game called Monopoly had been created which formed the basis of the game sold by Parker Brothers, beginning in 1935. Several people, mostly in the Midwestern United States and near the East Coast, contributed to the game's design and evolution, and this is when the game's design took on the 4×10 space-to-a-side layout and familiar cards were produced. The original version of the game in this format was based on Atlantic City, New Jersey. By the 1970s, the idea that the game had been created solely by Charles Darrow had become popular folklore: it was printed in the game's instructions and even in the 1974 book The Monopoly Book: Strategy and Tactics of the World's Most Popular Game by Maxine Brady.

这一段又讲了大富翁The Landlord’s Game是怎么变成了今天的地产大亨Monopoly的。简单说就是1933年玩具制造商帕克兄弟（Parker Brothers）开始售卖一个叫做Monopoly的游戏，这个Monopoly的游戏模型就是基于前文提到的The Landlord’s Game。二十世纪七十年代，开始产生了个说法，说这个游戏是Charles Darrow所设计的，甚至书上也开始这么写。我也去搜了一下发现确实有文章是这么写的。再后来帕克兄弟被孩之宝收购了，Monopoly便归属了孩之宝。

至于地产大亨、大富翁游戏这两个中文名字的恩怨纠葛，我找到了一篇文章，里边是这么说的：

「地產大亨」的概念在初傳至臺灣時，許多公司也設計了類似的產品，譬如最具知名度的「大富翁」，其商標早於1962年就已被亞灣文具註冊（先於「地產大亨」的第一款中文版），另外還包括「世界大財主」、「大賺錢」、「世界遊戲」、「大貿易」和「大吹牛」等等，連電腦遊戲廠商大宇資訊也推出了電腦版本的「大富翁」。所以，之後由孩之寶出版的「Monopoly」在臺灣就只能名為「地產大亨」，而有趣的是，目前在香港的「Monopoly」則是稱作「大富翁」。

综上，原微博所说的确实是真的：大富翁游戏发明者最初的立意是要教育大家，土地被少数人独占所可能带來的各种负面效果，在游戏里沒有土地的人必须不断支付过路费，很快就会破产出局。

当然，个人觉得无论是棋牌游戏还是电脑游戏，它们在基本原理上都差不多啦，你挑个自己喜欢的玩着开心就好~~~
