From the early twentieth century on the so called Folks Games were home made in America.  These monopoly games were designed and played by Quakers in the Philadelphia and Atlantic City area, in the east part of America. They were called "The Landlord's Games", the name Lizzie Magie already gave to the game she described in her 1904's patent. 
Till today over the whole world and for various reasons countless self-made games are made.

The game:
Jack surprised his friend Henry Emson by making a monopoly game for his 18th birthday. 
This is what he tells about his self-made game board:

"This game doesn't include "properties" as such, but instead includes categories that represent my friend's life.
I also changed all of the Chance and Community Chest cards to relate to our social group. The game still works just as well as the original though because none of the prices of property, functions of cards or anything else that makes monopoly a fair game were changed.
In addition to the game board and box, I also produced a framed picture of the front cover, 'Henopoly' t-shirt and 'Henopoly' lighters to use with the many cigars that were enclosed in the box -  a little over the top I know, but I just seemed to get truly carried away with it. It was hard giving it away, but I still have all of the images on my computer so I hope to make more copies and give them away to other friends (and of course one for myself!)"
