Anti-Monopoly is a board game made by San Francisco State University Professor Ralph Anspach in response to Monopoly.
His intent was to demonstrate how harmful monopolies could be to a free-enterprise system, and how antitrust laws work to curtail them in the real world.
Instead of real estate and public utilities, properties in Anti-Monopoly are individual businesses that have been brought under single ownership.
[2] Players take the role of federal case workers bringing indictments against each monopolised business in an attempt to make the board resemble a free market system.
The case dragged on for ten years,[3] with numerous appeals and overturned judicial verdicts, until Anspach and Parker ultimately reached a settlement, permitting him to continue using the name Anti-Monopoly and distributing the game.
