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?

My recollection is, the metal tokens were replaced with wooden ones in games made during WWII when all nonessential metal was diverted to arms production.

They're probably already conspiring to replace the lead pipe with a lead-free pipe...

The candlestick, of course, is now an LED light bulb.
