I thought they recently changed the thimble to a cat? You should make a Canada version too. We have a hamburger, and air plane, a cellphone, a roller skate, and more.

As @MissTaylor133 noted, the Cat was added in 2013 (though I think it replaced the iron, not the thimble).

In my house we tend to use Cluedo weapons and other game pieces as counters because half the Monopoly ones are missing.

Jan 7, 2020
Same, wait no, the other way around I think. I think we had a Monopoly piece we used for Cluedo. Since for cluedo it is necessary to have all the pieces while for monopoly you usually dont play with 10 people, so in our case we only needed 3 pieces to use to go around the board. (And the type doesnt matter)

Im trying to remember, I think it was the iron that took on the role as a weapon, not sure what it replaced though... I think the dagger.

Why would they retire the horse and rider? That was one of the best ones. Much better than the thimble or the top hat!

Nov 22, 2019
Somewhere along the way, I started using the iron...and then just always used the iron. Everyone always fought over the dog or the race car, but I never had any competition for the iron. Made it easy to always get the one I wanted, I guess.

I just learned that my parents' Monopoly game was missing tokens...I had never seen the horse & rider, bag of money, wheelbarrow, or cat.

They would only have a bag of money and a cat if they bought the game relatively recent. Usually games like that stay in the family so it is most likely people have versions older than 2000.

Knew the thimble but couldn't recall its name for the life of me. Forgot Iron as well, probably because I never played with it.

Lived my whole life thinking it was "wheelbarrel". After searching the Internet, it's not that uncommon.

As a kid my parents had an old set that had colored wooden tokens, simiilar to chess pieces. I always thought that those were the right ones, until I played at a friends house and they had these metal things!!

Doing a search now, I find out the wooden ones date pre 1937! (or perhaps a short period during WW2).

PS.

It had plastic houses/hotels, but the 8 colored wooden tokens, so not sure what era it's from.

RJ: [getting out Monopoly game pieces] Now, this is us.

Hammy: Can I be the car?

Bucky: I wanna be the car!

Spike: I'm the car! You be the shoe.

Bucky: Shoe is lame.
