Ms. Monopoly

Tabletop game1 January 2019

Ms. Monopoly is a version of the Monopoly board game that highlights inventions created or contributed to by women and gives bonuses to female players. It was released by Hasbro in 2019. The game replaces Rich Uncle Pennybags, the mascot on most Monopoly versions, with a young woman described as his niece. As part of

the game's rollout, Hasbro sent three teenage girls a grant of $20,580 each to invest in their own inventions. Hasbro promoted Ms. Monopoly as the first game "where women make more than men". In a statement, Hasbro said that the game provides an environment in which "women have an advantage often enjoyed by men". Upon

release, the game was criticized for its gameplay mechanics of giving bonuses to female players, as well as ignoring the original Monopoly's creator.
