...which is your token of choice?



Are you always that one particular playing piece? Will you throw a tantrum and refuse to play unless you get to be that boot, that Scottie dog, that battleship?

And does anybody ever really choose to be the iron?


(BTW, my picks are the car and - of course - the top hat. )

I like to use the top hat and the boot. I haven't played monopoly in years. I wanna play

My big brother always made me be the iron or the boot.

I hated it.


I don't play anymore.

Everybody wants to be the car.

It was even parodied in that animated film "The Hedge" when the animals were plannng their attack using monopoly pieces.

Are you a cunning and ruthless Monopoly opponent? Do you become a board game Donna Trump?

Because I like my fellow Monopoly players to be as terrible as I so I have chance.

Haven't played this in forever but I liked the iron

But Carrie! The boot is a shoe! I thought you liked shoes.

Were we to play a game of Monopoly, I'd let you have first pick of the pieces. In fact, I'd create a token especially for use only by you -- a fuzzy, furry pink purse, perhaps.

I've never heard of that film but that sounds very funny.

And yes, who gets to be the car can lead to fisticuffs and threats against one's mother. THIS I KNOW TO BE TRUE.

the boot...it has something to do with my last name....

I am. I'm really competitive

veronikka said:

Hmm. Till you I've not run across anybody who willingly chooses to be the iron.

Your name should be vironekka.

I always want to play the top hat or the boot. But most of the time I was the boot!

WillyWonka said:

I just thought it was the cutest out of the bunch

WillyWonka said:

awwwww... that'd be perfect!

And I wouldn't mind the boot now. But when I was a kid, that was the loser piece.

if they make this a game piece, my life will be complete...

For me it was the iron or the thimble!

roodboi said:

They would have to make the gameboards much larger then!

We're Monopoly twins.

I guess that means we shouldn't play together, or there'd be a fight.

O.K., O.K., I pick the top hat when I'm not playing Ghettopoly...

WillyWonka said:

It doesn't seem like you to take a parody seriously.

i think there must have been pieces missing from the set i grew up with!!
what is this iron nonsense? and what is that thing with the wheel? or the thing below that??

in our house there was probably a fight over the horse.
actually, like most of my childhood, i probably wanted whatever my sister wanted

I haven't played it since I played it once with my family in 1987

After looking more closely at the imagery on that board, I found it to more...intense...than I'd first realized.

This was meant as a lighthearted thread.
