Blacks & Whites: 50th Anniversary Edition

America’s realest real estate game is back! It’s Blacks & Whites: 50th Anniversary Edition.

Fifty years ago, Prof. Robert Sommer and Judy Tart created a socially-conscious version of Monopoly, highlighting the racial inequity of the housing market and capitalism in America. Inspired by the original, the 50th Anniversary Edition features a new foreward by Prof. Sommer, modern original artwork, entertaining gameplay, and renewed lessons in the economics of prejudice.

The objective is simple: control the board by owning the most property – and hopefully learn something about empathy and cooperation along the way. Play as a Black player: you may feel disenfranchised, but you also get access to Bonus Cards that White players can only dream about! Or play as White, and this game should be as easy as getting a loan or being seen as human by the police!
