Many game makers produced different varieties of finance-centered board games during the 1940s and especially the 1950s--the years when Parker Brothers' Monopoly game sold steadily. The Whitman Publishing Company, which also made board games, produced an interesting version based on the stock market. Players enter "pits" on the game board and attempt to corner a market in a particular commodity. Like so many games about money, the richest player at game's end wins.
