The Top Hat.
Bet you didn’t see that one coming.
Yep, top hat all the way. Don’t have a backup piece, after the top hat, it’s all settling.
The Piper Cub or the dogsled. But then I play the Iditarod version.
Until you said it I thought I was goingto be the first. The Battleship is awesome! Don’t like your opponant? Blow him ti smitherins!
Oh, and the thimble? It sucks. That’s jsut the way it is. Anyone who actually likes the thimble…well…you clearly have something wrong in the head. I mean…it’s a thimble fer cryin’ out loud!
If I can’t get the battleship (which is rare,) then I’ll take the car, top hat, or dog, in that order.

I like the doggie. If he’s taken, I’ll be the thimble. When I was a little girl, I always tried to make the dog wear the tophat, but it doesn’t fit. That would have been the ideal piece.
Luke Skywalker.
What?
Another vote for the doggie. The car was the second choice. My family’s Monopoly set lost the battleship and the cannon at some point in the distant past before I was old enough to play. I might have chosen the battleship over the dog had it been available.
Another vote for the dog. Had to be the dog. If dog was missing I would be the shoe or the iron.
Always the top hat. It’s so smootth and shiny, and it feels like the most “official” gampiece, possibly because Uncle Moneybags wears one.
I usually played the old Bic Pen Cap, or the Paperclip, or the Canadian Penny.
This is the kind of Monopoly set you end up with when you have younger siblings who decide that Barbie needs to Iron and also needs a little Dog, and then lose them both in the couch cushions or under the fridge. We managed to never lose any of the property cards though, but I felt sorry for the Small Button who landed on Marvin Gardens and had to stay overnight in a Little Scrap of Paper With “HOTEL” Written On It.
The battleship. Real estate trading is War! You have to go in with the biggest guns to have a chance at surviving.
The red one.
*what? *
My monopoly set is so old it has wood hotels and motels. No fancy metal marker thingys for me.
The bundle of cash. Grabbed it out of a copy of the excruciating Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous board game. It’s the perfect size for a Monopoly peice, and fits my goals juuust right.
You flatten it slightly and throw it like a Frisbee to kill your opponents. Hey, you play a 70’s game, you gotta watch a 70’s movie. Yes, *I know * neither one are really 70’s but I was a child in the 70’s when I played monopoly and watched Goldfinger…shutup and give me the damn shoe, will ya?
If I can’t be the dog, I’m not going to play.
Sorry, but I feel strongly on the point.
Wow. Our game came with plastic houses and hotels, but with wooden tokens! They weren’t shaped like any objects - they were similar to some chess pieces. It was years before I realized that all my friends’ games had tokens shaped like cool miniature things (I only ever played Monopoly with my family). I then thought we must have lost the original tokens and had replaced them with homemade wooden things, but my Mom insisted they came with wooden tokens.
All that being said, my favourite was always the small purple one.
I like to be the iron or thimble.
I would pick the flying pig piece…
because the only way I usually win Monopoly of any variety is when pigs fly.Monopoly tokens Rated
I am the shoe, I am always the shoe, and I will stab the eyes out of anyone who tries to grab the shoe before I get it.
