E229: House Rules

Every now and then, our Dudes stumble onto a topic by chance. This week, Erin and Nicole planned to talk about how contentious the game of Monopoly can be, some of the longest games ever played, and some of the worst franchised boards (KISS Monopoly, anyone?). They talk about all that stuff, but the big surprise was the story of Lizzie Magie, the inventor of Monopoly. She was a feminist, a Georgist, a writer, an activist - so many amazing things. And she was 100% d*cked over by Parker Brothers and some douche who would go on to make a MILLION DOLLARS for her idea.
