The short answer is that the game might be worth something but you’re unlikely to get rich from it.
Yes, some old monopoly board games are definitely worth something, with rare, early editions fetching anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars
However, for the vast majority of games collecting dust in an attic, the value is more sentimental than monetary. Sometimes these editions are very limited with low production numbers, making them rare and valuable Typically, the rarest versions of monopoly are early editions from charles darrow or parker brothers Monopoly wouldn’t exist without elizabeth magie’s the landlord’s game.
But very early boards or special editions with luxury materials have sold for thousands. Sealed copies of the game will obviously be worth more, but are harder to find Collector’s special editions can be valuable even having been opened and played. The game has sold more than 275 million copies worldwide, and is translated into 47 languages
That of course widens the scope for valuable sets, but vintage boards and limited editions in mint condition can fetch hundreds, and even thousands of pounds.
Generally speaking, vintage monopoly games are not worth much They are almost always less than $200 for a standard edition, no matter how old or how good the condition Not long after the game began production at parker brothers in 1935, more than 20,000 games were being published each week. Around 1932, entrepreneur charles darrow first played a version titled monopoly at a friend’s house
He was so enamored with it that he asked for a written set of rules and later began to make and sell the game himself These earliest published versions of monopoly by darrow are highly collectible.
