Although the commentary does not cover a complete history of the Arden board game, it does lend some insight into why Arden is important in the history of both Landlords and monopoly games.
You can read a bit more about the town of Arden and its unique relationship to 'Single Tax' and Henry George, both an important part of the Landlords Game, at the
Arden Club web site, Georgist Guild page
. You can also read mor under some of my recommended reading on home page links.
