Which Monopoly Piece Do You Want Added and Booted?

Lose the wheelbarrow.

Add the robot.

Who uses a thimble nowadays? I do not know anyone under 60 that sews anymore! DEATH TO THE THIMBLE!

And robot actually might be cooler than Guitar :slight_smile:

Funny, those are exactly the three I immediately went to. I think the iron is the worst of the worst.

Here’s an article with a photo of the new pieces. At first I thought it should be the Cat since there’s already a Dog, but after seeing them, the Helicopter is clearly the coolest one, so I vote for that.

The top hat was always my first choice. According to that article, it seems to be lagging in the polls. Noooooooooooo!

That just looks like a random collection of pawns from various games. That is a canon from Diplomacy.

Who doesn’t have a battleship? I guess land locked rich people don’t.
They should add a liger.

All of the options for addition are too “now” for me. I always liked that the pieces themselves were fairly timeless, catering to no specific time period between 1925 and now.

I didn’t have a battleship either.

Definitely get rid of the iron and add the robot.

Can’t get rid of the thimble, it’s The Thimble, the wee underdog object, the humblest of the objects, destined to rule.

But, when the robot comes, I’m picking robot instead.

Really? I hear “toy robot” and think 1950s or so, not modern day.

Edit: The photo definitely shows a vintage looking toy robot, not some modern remote controlled programmable thing.

Although typing that makes me think we should ditch the iron and replace it with a Roomba.

Apparently it’s been longer since I played Monopoly than I realized. When did they stop using the horse and rider as a piece?

BTW, you are supposed for one you want to keep, not one you want to lose. But, as the OP asked I went with Thimble and Robot…because its a freaking thimble and a freaking robot.

BTW, the one that must not go is the Top Hat.

Yeah, that’s the symbol of the entire game.

The cannon doesn’t belong there. But those are the actual Monopoly pawns that we had. And yes, they’re different shapes in addition to being different colours.

Lose: Iron
Get: Robot!

True, and this invites tactical voting. There’s no point in voting for the dog, even if it’s your favorite piece, because there is no way in hell the dog is getting eliminated.

According to this story, dated Wednesday, the iron and wheelbarrow are bringing up the rear. So if you don’t like one, vote to save the other.

You should have made this a poll! This was the ideal subject for a poll. Anyway get rid of the wheelbarrow and bring on the toy robot!

Drop wheelbarrow. Add robot cat! (possibly with helicopter blades coming out of its back).

I had to do it.

Did you miss the part where the robot has a mustache?

Robot is the clear winner here, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary.

Oh, and Dog was always the best piece, followed by Battleship, then Train.

What’s that? You say there is no Train piece? Well, there was, but only if you had the super-cool-Anniversary edition of monopoly:

It had all the pieces, including the Cannon and Horse and Rider that are no longer included, and a special, “One Time Only” piece…the Train.

Need an iPhone piece.
