This seems to be a knock-off of a Monopoly game in which you travel through time "buying" people and inventions. The board and game play is similar, except that all the prices are $50-$75 more and the "Chance" and "Community Chest" cards are very different from Parker Brothers "traditional" cards. Also, the colors are a bit different than the Parker Brothers "traditional" colors. Other than that, they play the same.
