The board game of Monopoly has been an American favorite for many years. The game, in which players purchase various properties in order to attempt to monopolize a real estate market, was originally conceived in the early 20th century and first introduced commercially in the 1920's. Parker Brothers began publishing the game in 1935, and today there are different versions of the popular game,
. which is now published by Hasbro.In addition to adding new versions of the famous board game, like Monopoly Crazy Cash, Monopoly World Edition and Monopoly Electronic Banking, Hasbro has evolved the forms of Monopoly in other ways as well, namely with electronic and online versions of the well-known board game.Where until recently players would have to physically roll the dice and move their token along the game board's squares, make land purchases and pay rents with the fake paper money and stack plastic representations of buildings on their landed properties, today all of that can be done electronically by using a computer.The Pogo games website offers a free online version of Monopoly. In order to access the game, Pogo first requires a user registration that is completed via an online account sign-up form on the site. The easy-to-play online game has vivid graphics and animation. While it does not allow a users to download a full version of Monopoly free, users can access and play the game online.Perhaps the best source for all that is electronic Monopoly is the official Hasbro website for the game.
