It was in Indianapolis that Ruth Hoskins learned Lizzie Magie's "Landlord's Game." Taking it back to Atlantic City she made a new board with Atlantic City street names and renamed the game Monopoly. The Atlantic City board made its way to Philadelphia, where it was eventually taught to Charles Darrow, who then began to distribute his hand-made versions of the game himself. Darrow took the game to Parker Brothers and sold it to them. Monopoly was first marketed on a broad scale by Parker Brothers in 1935.
