That is actually a cannon, but it does resemble a spinning wheel or wheel of some sort.

Below it is a moneybag, which is a newer token introduced in the mid-90s, if I remember correctly.

always the iron

the car or top hat

I don't recall having a definite favorite--depending on my mood I'd go for the dog, boot, wheelbarrow or tophat. Didn't like the horse and I don't remember there being a battleship in my version. I was probably just happy that someone was willing to play with me, so I didn't care about the piece. I loved playing board games as a child and always received them as gifts, but my family (parents & brother) never wanted to play with me.

hehe i always used the shoe....everyone in my family had a regular piece, isnt it funny we have to have the same one all the time

i have the deluxe edition with the moneybag

i'll either be the car or the choo-choo train

on the video game, the peices were animated so when you rolled the dice depending on which token you used here's what you saw:

the dog barked and scampered
the top hat flipped and bunnies came out(think magician)
the submarine moved and it had one eye looking around
the man on the horse galloped,
the shoe walked,
the car drove itself,
the wheelbarrel wheeled itself
the thimble flipped

I generally liked to be the top hat or the racing car. A piece that generally resonated style and class!

Mr potato head



oh, did i 4get 2 mention that we only have this monopoly in the house



old style monopoly , i always wanted the car or the thimble

I was always the wishbone.
And my favotite part of the game was whenever I touch the edges of the "cavity" & the buzzer would go off,
I'd yell out' "You sank my battleship!"

I played Junior Monop with my younger siblings!

I later realized that all versions of this game has alot to do with how the dice rolls. One game I had such a bad streak where I couldn't buy anything by landing on it.

The boot!

Or the car. But the boot is cooler.

And here I thought I would be hard-pressed to find choosers of the iron.

If there were a Prince.org board-game night, you would indeed always have a waiting chair there.

Got to be the boot

I always picked the hat, I was a big Harold Lloyd fan and for some reason my 7 year old brain associated that hat with him.

Top Hat

the dog,
the game never gets started because everyone wants to be the dog

Top hat or the dog but NEVER the battleship - that's for boys!

I made my own.....its a lil pimp.

That sounds fun.

I liked them all when I was a kid, and it always became an anxious situation, trying to choose. I like the thimble, battleship, and top hat these days.

Precisely!

The power of image for an aspiring real estate tycoon should never be underestimated.

There is a film allegedly set to be made based on the game of Monopoly. You would be lovely as The Boot.
