And Monopoly is based on The Landlord's Game, which was created to be a "practical demonstration of the present system of land grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences".

Designed by Elizabeth Magie between 1902 and 1903. She based the game on the economic principles of Georgism, a system proposed by Henry George, with the object of demonstrating how rents enrich property owners and impoverish tenants.

Exactly! I couldn’t remember, and you’re absolutely right. The “Prosperity” version of the rules was based on Georgism.
