In the old version I usually went with the dog or the top hat.
I have the simpsons version and I always play as blinky the three-eyed fish.
Soon I’ll be buying the Nintendo version and I can’t wait to use the turtle shell.
The car. Because it is fast, duh.
Wheelbarrow. I don’t like the ‘car’ people. Please… MUST you have the car? They just have to have the car. Thppppppt!

Brian

No, there is not an “I’d rather play a good Euro” option. If you want to start a fancy-schmancy “Ooh, I’m too good for your pedestrian little childish race-around-the-board-and-collect-money” games thread, then there is an entire other forum in which you may do so, sir! Honestly, I say!
(PS: My latest obsession is Galaxy Trucker.)
