Later on, an inaccurate myth developed that Charles Darrow had created the game. In the original rules, players could agree to share the land rents and everyone would win, which was not as exciting as the current rules, unfortunately. Her game, which she called 'The Landlord's Game', was self-published, beginning in 1906. She wanted it to be an educational tool to highlight the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies. Magie created the game in 1903, to explain the single tax theory of Henry George.
Monopoly was created by Elizabeth Magie based on the economic concept of land monopoly.
