Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.

Hello!
My name is Alex Doppelgänger and I'm passionate about #science, #culture, #history and #boardgames.
In my spare time I write on my personal website and on Substack (in Romanian) about board games and their role in the development of culture, history and society.
Pleased to meet you!
Elk in Cascadia boardgame :)
Hey, if you haven’t yet, be sure to try the Elk client for Mastodon. It’s one of the best around!
It’s been a while since I’ve updated my pinned toot so fixing that! I’m a #GenX nerd who is a #vegetarian and who gets around mostly by bike, specifically an ebike. I enjoy doing a variety of #crafts to get out of my head and create something.
A few of my interests:
#knitting
#reading
#ScienceFiction
#Fantasy
#BikeTooter
#embroidery
#BoardGames
#BikeCommute
I am spending a week at a mountain hut with some friends, and we brought this amazing selection of games. It might be tight to play them all, with skiing and sauna also competing for attention, but we will see. Tomorrow is supposed to be a very windy day up here in western #jämtland, so that sounds promising!
#Goodmorning from Fisksätra. Today: finish translation of a Łódź buddy's paper, have lunch with my Tartu buddy, visit the Huddinge #boardgames club. What are you up to?
Ok time for a proper #introduction! I’m River, pleased to meet you. I’m Enby and use they/them pronouns.
I love all the usual nerdy stuff - #TTRPG #Gaming #Anime #BoardGames. My undying love goes out to #OnePiece, and I’ve been absolutely loving #DiscoElysium. Almost always happy to give anime reccs :3
I’m a leftist and joining Mastodon was part of my newer interest in privacy / security. Still moving some stuff over to #FOSS alternatives.
I’ll be both nerdy and horny! Be warned!
After a dozen successful test games of Doomsday Countdown with Necrons, I started counters and card prototypes. Cutting round counters is fiddly but in coin capsules they look quiet fine!
Currently play testing Necrons for Doomsday Countdown. I am not sure if I am still bad at this game or I made them to strong.
