Monopoly boardgame retiring one of it's pieces, lets you pull the trigger - Polidicks

[url]http://wtvr.com/2013/01/09/monopoly-game-piece-retirement/[/url] [quote]Are you a Scottie dog sort of person? Or maybe the battleship? Everyone has their favorite Monopoly game piece, and if you don’t act, your favorite just might be going into retirement. Monopoly is putting their iconic game pieces up for a vote — the one with the fewest votes goes to jail and is replaced by a new game piece — forever. Game players can go to the Monopoly Facebook page to cast their vote every day to save the dog, iron, race car, battleship, shoe, thimble, top hat or wheelbarrow. You can also vote for the piece that you want to be added to the game: a cat, a diamond ring, a robot, a helicopter or a guitar all have a chance to pass Go. You can vote until February 5.[/quote] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/5jz0w7.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/la2xe.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/hu4jyr.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/9iqs06.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/2eyw39s.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/2a9bic7.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/4j47l.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/3486ogh.png[/IMG] Credits to[B] Mr. Zombie, Echidna666, and LilRobot[/B] for the above images.

But I like them all

who could conceivably give a flying fuck

[QUOTE=Sprockethead;39158048]who could concievably give a flying fuck[/QUOTE] People who play Monopoly, perhaps?

How do these guys still make money from the game? Surely everyone who will ever own Monopoly already has the game.

[QUOTE=Sprockethead;39158048]who could conceivably give a flying fuck[/QUOTE] this is SERIOUS

If car gets removed i'm gonna be fucking pissed.

[QUOTE=Noss;39158064]How do these guys still make money from the game? Surely everyone who will ever own Monopoly already has the game.[/QUOTE] There are a shitton of different variations by now, with different gimmicks adding to the game.

i hope the iron goes

[QUOTE=Noss;39158064]How do these guys still make money from the game? Surely everyone who will ever own Monopoly already has the game.[/QUOTE] If you play a lot, the game gets worn. I have a version from the 80s my parents had. It's severely beat up.

Get rid of the thimble. Replace with cat or robot.

but why?

Keep the dog for monopoly 2k13

[QUOTE=Noss;39158064]How do these guys still make money from the game? Surely everyone who will ever own Monopoly already has the game.[/QUOTE] I bought a Nintendo one awhile back.

nooo save the shoe

But if they add a diamond ring the game is gonna be expensive as fuck

[QUOTE=Noss;39158064]How do these guys still make money from the game? Surely everyone who will ever own Monopoly already has the game.[/QUOTE] there are 2,351 variations of the game

Please not the Top Hat, it is the best piece.

I voted for the Battleship to stay, the diamond ring to come. The ring seems to be the best in theme with the rest of the game.

but muh wheelbarrow.

[QUOTE=Noss;39158064]How do these guys still make money from the game? Surely everyone who will ever own Monopoly already has the game.[/QUOTE] Missing pieces

keep the shoe lose the thimble gain robot

nobody fucking likes the wheelbarrow

[QUOTE=Sprockethead;39158048]who could conceivably give a flying fuck[/QUOTE] How old are you? Monopoly is a piece of history.

Car masterrace Get rid of iron and upgrade to robot

[QUOTE=Foxtrot200;39158153]Missing pieces[/QUOTE] That's why you buy two boards so you can cannibalize one for money/pieces. The amount of cash they give you for one board is [I]never[/I] enough for long-term games.

Does noone else besides me remember the moneybags? I have that piece in the set I have, whatever happened to that? :(

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;39158233]I only have the terrible version with the stupid credit cards. I need to get the classic one some day, hopefully before this change.[/QUOTE] Personally, I like the super sized one where every color has an extra lot to buy.

Don't you dare touch the cannon
