What Was Your Favourite Monopoly Piece?

[Yorick]

Just saw this on another forum and their choice as a kid, sort of came true in later life. Was a bit spooky

Mine was always the motorbike

I always wanted to be the Battleship but my older brother always bagged it.

It's like how I always wanted to be the Silk Cut Jaguar on our Le Mans Scalextric set but ended up with the Rothmans Porsche. I felt hard done by, but in hindsite I was an idiot in that choice.

Always wanted to be the dog - but my sister always "had" to have that.
Brother had the battleship - so I got the car

Nagash supreme lord of the undead.

The Jag is mildly better, the spoiler on the back of the Porsche 962 makes it a bit tail happy.

#1 The hat
#2 The boot

As you could put them on the end of a finger.

There was a battleship???

[Mr. Dazzle]

Didn't they add a new one a while back after a vote?

[Count Steer]

I have absolutely no idea why, but I always wanted (and got) the hat. (No, not that hat. ).

[Rockburner]

The dog wearing the top hat.

[mangocrazy]

I always wanted the car, but mainly because our set didn't have a motorbike. Sister had the dog, Dad had the hat, Mum had the iron.

What stereotyping?

[Noggin]

I think I generally went for the iron or the hat. But it’s been so long since I’ve played I really can’t remember

Definitely have no recollection of a battleship tho

[Skub]

While they were all arguing over the pieces,I was pinching and stashing the £500 notes.

It's the winning that counts,not the taking part.

[McNab]

Yeah, I don't remember the battleship or the motorbike.

Car, dog, hat, iron I remember. Always the car for me. Although I never really liked the game as it went on for ages, probably because we were playing it wrong (like most people probably were).

[Count Steer]

Although it's quintessentially London, Monopoly was originally based on Atlantic City. (Surprised they had enough places but, IIRC the policeman on 'Go to Jail' looks a bit American).

[Mr. Dazzle]

Pretty sure I've got Milton Keynes monopoly and I'm equally pretty sure that I've never played it.

[Rockburner]

Pretty sure I've got Milton Keynes monopoly and I'm equally pretty sure that I've never played it.

I've still got the Visopolown board and cards (somewhere....)

Yeah, we bought a Sheffield edition and it's still in the shrinkwrap...

Next up, what was your favourite weapon in Cluedo?

[Mr. Dazzle]

Yeah goes without saying everyone wants to be Colonel Mustard.
