I'm thinking, with what you can do with computers, 3-D Printers and lamination machines, people can make their own. This one will have to be one of those. But it might be interesting to send a Proposal to Parker Brothers just to see the reply.

I propose a slight revision. At any time, the white players can vote to change the system such that disadvantaged (black)players receive the same benefits and assistance that the privileged whites did, that random go to jail cards are not allowed, and that rent controls be introduced.
First envision a shape for the course that isn’t the monopoly SQUARE. Then come up with a name that doesn’t sound too much like “LynchMobocracy”. You SHOULD have “fun” with the pieces. (I SUPPOSE you might be better off eschewing the racist tropes that come so easily to my mind: a straight razor, a fried drumstick, or a slice of watermelon, but then again crap like that might just provide the RIGHT type of edge. DON’T TRUST FOCUS GROUPs for creative decisions, but use them for marketing tropes, like why it’s “OK” to have a “noose” or a lawn jockey for a game token… And remember, this is an “educational” project with an entertaining and provocative edge, not merely an edifying or uplifting one. …You’d think Ledbetter might have felt that Black folk didn’t NEED to be reminded to “Stay woke”, but we all to - and dark humor is NOT monopolized by Jews).
When people go TO JAIL, the “worst” fate would be to have a cellmate like Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas.
I’ll bet you could crowd fund any development costs and/or find a way to manufacture and distribute something like this to order and market it via web channels. It’s a winner - and one open to all kinds of modifications and tweaks in a never ending effort to educate and forearm with a bit of bitter humor and plenty of deep veins of knowledge, history, tradition, warnings, and inspirations. (Once you have a shape for the course on the board and a name, the thing practically designs itself. (Actually, using the web to recruit advice and ideas would be a great marketing AND development strategy.) You could also find find students majoring in game design who might do a web based electronic version for name recognition and experience. Don’t PAY THEM anything - except maybe pizza and soda money.)
A way to generate revenue is to offer people and organizations the opportunity to create their own versions (meaning contingencies and labels etc) Not only would that improve and diversify the game over time, but it would generate a self marketing dynamic.
Wow! The game should only end once all the white players die from shame
We would be playing 4 ever
Eleanor, I'd reply to your comment with the like button, but you're too on the nose. 4ever, is sadly right!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The game of gaming the game. How appropriate.

You left out D. J. Drumpf family. They could put red initials at the top of applications, and just perform general skimming off the top. DD
My kids use to play Dog-opoly - a tail-waggling property trading game.

This is intense. And your essay reminds me that I hated Monopoly when I was a kid; wouldn't play it. Winning by hurting others...nah ♡

Wow, you have explained "the game" perfectly!
Just do it!
It’s a great idea.
