History of the board game Monopoly this practice. Their version of "Monopoly" has been produced for international markets, with the place names being localized for cities including London and Paris and for countries including the Netherlands and Germany, among others. By 1982, Parker Brothers stated that the game "has been translated into over 15 languages..." In 2009, Hasbro reported that "Monopoly" is officially published in 27 languages, and has been licensed by them in 81 countries. As of January 2013, Hasbro states that the game is now available in 43 languages and 111 countries. The game has also inspired official spin-offs, such as the board game
Camelot (board game) considerably more varied than checkers. Parker created a game that was a complex, tactical, but an easily learned and quickly played mixture of Halma and checkers. When finally published by Geo. S. Parker & Co. in 1887, Chivalry won the raves of chess and checkers experts, but the game Parker called "the best game in 2000 years" did not catch on quickly with the general public. However, Parker never lost his enthusiasm for the game, and in 1930 he made a few changes, and Parker Brothers republished it under the name "Camelot". A few more rules changes followed in 1931.
