Anti Monopoly Travel Tin

An update of the monopoly folk game invented by Elizabeth Magie 100 years ago. It's a twist right out of today's headlines: free market competitors clash with ruthless monopolists.

In Anti-Monopoly, players are divided into competitors and monopolists before the game starts. The two types of players then follow different rules in their quest for big money. It is this idea of movement and choice which allows Anti-Monopoly to be the first and only game in history which clearly distinguishes between the actions of competitors and monopolist.

Submarings 

Submarings by Clawsome! is a retro-cool, unplugged STEM authenticated game of skill, speed and science by using science's principle of "Bernoulli's Principle," Cool science aside, Submarings brings an exciting challenge to players of all ages, with no batteries required.

This was one of my favorite toys to play growing up. My brothers and sister and I use to take turns trying to get the little rings on the posts. It’s a great way to pass time. The object of the game is to get all of the rings on the posts. It’s challenging and so much fun.  Runs on water! No batteries needed.
