Foster14 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have a Monopoly app on my phone. It has a Prius as a game piece... Link to comment
daytripping Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not played it in a while but do have the Aberdeen edition at home, think the helicopter looks pretty cool but won't be voting. I like the iron, its the only time I ever hold one! Link to comment

You can pick any of the traditional pieces, it just has a Prius as well. 69p well spent, I have to say. Link to comment
daytripping Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I don't think I've ever finished a game of monopoly, once one person starts winning other people tend to lose interest or start cheating. Link to comment

terenceandphilip Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I like the candlestick, especially with Miss Scarlet. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 They should introduce a new David Murray piece. It automatically means you don't need to pay any taxes. Only problem is that it takes you longer to get round the board because you only have one dice and not two. Link to comment

When we were little my sister had to be car or she wouldn't play. I didn't mind which piece I was, I suppose the dog would be my favourite. Link to comment
Henry Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Members of the international boardgame-playing community, not to mention fans of small symbols of domestic drudgery, have been left reeling by the news that the iron counter is to be permanently exiled from Monopoly and replaced with the tiny metal effigy of a cat. The decision follows a month-long Facebook vote in which Monopoly enthusiasts were invited to cull one of the old-guard counters and replace it with one that better reflected "the interests of today's players". After what must have been some particularly excruciating soul-searching, fans opted for the cat over the other contenders Link to comment
360 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 A cat ffs!! Appeasing to the gays or what!? You'll be able to slaughter and eat your own children and fuck animals next. Link to comment
looksgoodinred Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 A cat ffs!! Appeasing to the gays or what!? You'll be able to slaughter and eat your own children and fuck animals next. yes a cat. but more importantly, the iron is gone. that was a lame game piece. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 A fucking cat? Monopoly can shove that right up their arses. A fucking computer, a smartphone or a bottle of Jack Daniels I could understand... but a cat? I don't know why that annoys me, but it does. Link to comment

I knew of no poll. Or if I did I forgot, or assumed no-one would vote for a cat. Not that I ever play Monopoly, but I do have Aberdeenopoly somewhere in the hoose. Unopened. Link to comment
