When you play Monopoly, what’s your favorite piece? I always favored the dog, but we recently bought an “original” set that had additional pieces. Now I think I’ll be the battleship, or maybe the purse.
See this for more info:
I, too, am the Scotty.
Top hat all the way, bay-bee!
I always tried to be the car… and being the younger brother, whatever I wanted is what they would not let me have… so I ended up with the shoe…
what fun is a shoe… really…
If I have to stick with those pieces, I’m the cannon. Usually, though, I’m a blue d10.
I’m usually the wrench. I swipe it from my Clue set.
What?
I like the shoe.
the shoe
or the wheel barrow
or the penny
(if you grew up in a house full of kids, you probably lost the pieces and had to use substitutes like us)
The set we had as a kid had the rocking horse in it. That was me.
I suspect the thrift-shop set I own now is from the war period mentioned in the link because it has the wooden pawns. Booooring! I haven’t played in ages though, I just don’t have the patience (and my one-year-old won’t play with me :()

I always went for the car. It made the most sense to me, ya know? It was hard for me as a seven-year-old to conceptualize an iron walking around.
Then again, it was hard for me as a seven-year-old to play monopoly, period.
Well…you can kick their butt with it… and besides, it gives you more sole.
As for me… I like the tophat, or one of my kid’s plastic army men…

As a kid I had to have the iron.
Then I got the 50th anniversary edition in 1985. It had a train piece. Since then, that’s the one I play with. If I’m playing on a set without it, it’s back to the iron then.

I thought this was a gun thread! (Walther PPK)
But it’s a Monopoly thread. Top Hat.
My favorite piece is a Beretta 96 Brigadier .40, …monopoly oh that would be the tophat.

The shoe…always the shoe. I have had extremely large feet for most of my life, so I guess I like the novelty of a tiny shoe. <grins>
I’m the car - it made sense to me as a kid to go as fast as possible around the board. Just keep collecting that $200!
AAAAAAAGHHH!!! My Monopoly set had the wooden pieces!!! And now I don’t know where it is! I had no idea my Monopoly was a part of the war effort. My game helped kick Hitler’s ass and now I don’t know where it is.
Is that set worth anything to collectors of games, or WWII memorabilia, or anything?

Blinky. Or Kang.
Of course, all I have is the Simpsons Monopoly set.
My old set had a battleship which I always liked to play. Also had a “Go back to Old Kent Road” (UK version) which doesn’t seem to exist in newer sets.
Cheers, Keithy
The Scotty dog. Or the revolver from the Clue game.
