Monopoly Trivia
Board Games, Way Off Topic January 28th, 2007Did you know that there is a misspelling on the board game Monopoly? Before you contact Parker Brothers, they are aware of the error.
Apparently, the inventor of Monopoly misspelled the community Marvins Gardens. It should be Marvens Gardens. This error went to print and has never been changed. In fact, Parker Brothers apologized to the citizens of Marvens Gardens for the oversight in 1994.
It’s amazing what you can learn on Wikipedia. I was searching for something else and ran across that bit of trivia. I would never have guessed that Marvin was misspelled. I guess we do learn something new everyday.
