Made by San Francisco State University Professor Ralph Anspach in response to Monopoly, the game was originally called Bust The Trust but later changed to Anti-Monopoly. Because it was designed to be exactly that, with Anspach wishing to balance out the "lessons" taught by the mainstream game.

Anti-Monopoly starts with the entire board already €œowned€ by the bank, with the aim being for players €“ as federal €œcase workers€ €“ to bring indictments against each monopolized business in an attempt to return the state of the board to a free market system.
