History of the board game Monopoly to Magie is the concept of "ownership" of a place on a game board, such that something would happen to the second (or later) player to land on the same space, without the first player's piece still being present.

Milton Bradley modified the game in 1923, 1949, and 1955. In 1947, the game cost $.67. Parker Brothers obtained the rights to "Uncle Wiggily" in 1967. However, in 1989 both Milton Bradley Company and Parker Brothers reintroduced different versions of the same game. Hasbro now owns both the Parker Brothers
