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!)"
