Frederic Vester designed Ökolopoly in 1980 and it was first published as a supplement in the journal Nature. At the Munich International Horticultural Exposition 1983 it was first offered as a board game designed by Vester information pavilion of the Bavarian Ministry of the Environment. In 1984 Ravensburger launched Ökolopoly for the general market. While the magazine version had used marker stones on the tables, the final version used adjustable dials.
