With the popularity of the Monopoly (game), one variation created in 1977 took the game's best features, removed the game's least liked features, and added additional useful features into a dog-themed game called Dogopoly. In additional to the usual Monopoly path around the board, two tracks were added within the center area to offer alternative routes. Also, several rules were changed to allow for much quicker game-play, with games typically lasting about two (2) hours rather than Monopoly's often-stalemated games.

A computerized version (DOS-based) was created in 1990 but had limited release.

In 2002, a high-quality 25th anniversary collector's edition was released by Spahits Games and the New-York Historical Society included a copy in their permanent exhibit originally called "Petropolis".
