A tabletop game about privilege and racial inequity in real estate and American society. A modern take on the original game from 1970.

Fifty years ago, Prof. Robert Sommer and Judy Tart created a socially-conscious version of Monopoly, highlighting racial inequity of the housing market through gameplay and nuanced humor.

Inspired by the original game, which debuted in 1970 and was manufactured by the now-defunct Communications/Research/Machines/Inc., we’re proud to produce a revamped, reconceived, and revitalized version of the landlord's game, made for today. It’s Blacks & Whites: 50th Anniversary Edition.

Featuring a new foreword by Prof. Sommer, beautiful original artwork, entertaining modern gameplay, and renewed lessons in the economics of prejudice.

Proceeds from your purchase of Blacks & Whites: 50th Anniversary Edition proudly support the National Urban League’s Housing Division – providing opportunities for the most vulnerable to achieve housing stability and security through programs like comprehensive housing counseling and foreclosure prevention.
