Gee. My set must really be old. I have just little plastic shapes as tokens.
They were going to get rid of the shoe, wheelbarrow and iron? Those give the game character. I would have gotten rid of the dog.
Thanks to office casual few of the Under 30 crowd would recognize an iron anyway.
Bunch of ragtag bearded hippies tossing out the iron! These kids today and their Rock and Roll!!
I don’t remember a wheelbarrow! That’s how long it has been since I’ve played!
iron tokens soon to be collector items...
Monopoly can be a really emotional game because once one person gets a bunch of good properties with houses or hotels, its pretty much just a matter of time before the others are bankrupt. But its torture because they know its coming but it takes a while. Unless, of course, you cheat and slip yourself a couple extra $100s when no one is looking. That’s probably why the only game I played where people get angry and where one time someone actually flipped the board over and stormed out was Monopoly.
Monopoly was a good teaching tool for young kids. They learned to count money and how to screw their relatives at the same time. ;-)
What? No unity rainbows or flying unicorns were considered?
Ideas for new tokens: cellphone, Occupier mask, gay wedding couple, etc.
The iron slides most easily down the board. I like cats, but it is too much like the dog to have both. Any one who has plastic pieces lost the tokens, as Monopoly has always has metal tokens or (VERY early) wooden pieces.
What’s next? Replacing the revolver in clue with a zippo lighter?
Who wouldnt opt for a little P,
Never mind, family site.
I voted in this but totally forgot what I voted out and voted in. I know it was not to vote in a cat.
The iron never falls over. The dog does so now they’re adding a cat that will probably fall over, too.
My brother used to put the top hat on top of the race car and go around the board looking like a rich big shot.
I’m ok with the switch from iron to cat if the cat doesn’t fall over.
I don’t know why those of us who already have a monopoly set would care, though. It’s not like we’re going to go out and get a new set to see what the cat looks like.
YAY!!!!!!!!
And while I’m here, I might as well come clean on everything. Whenever I was in charge of the Boardwalk bank, I stole money from it.......lots of money.
Had we thought of it sooner, we could have mounted a campaign to replace the iron with an AK-47.
