Voters Have Chosen the Thimble to Remove from Monopoly in Contest - Polidicks

[quote]You can still pass "Go" and collect $200 on the Monopoly board, but you soon won't be able to do it with the thimble game piece. Voters have rejected the thimble, an integral part of the game since being added to Monopoly in 1935. The move is part of a campaign to select the next generation of game pieces.[/quote] [url=https://apnews.com/fe7b4b6d38a34654bcda1766fefbe687/Thimble-tossed!-Game-piece-voted-out-of-Monopoly-board-game]AP[/url]

Replace it with what though.

I have a UK set from the 50's or 60's and it doesn't have a thimble, is that just a US thing?

[QUOTE=helifreak;51833543]I have a UK set from the 50's or 60's and it doesn't have a thimble, is that just a US thing?[/QUOTE] maybe it got lost. Or someone used it as an actual thimble

Makes sense. Kids today aren't likely to recognize what a thimble is, other than the things in the little miniature display racks at grandma's house.

Make it another dog Just make all the pieces dogs

I always just use a space marine anyway.

[QUOTE=Dr.C;51833546]maybe it got lost. Or someone used it as an actual thimble[/QUOTE] On further inspection there are only 5 tokens in the box. Well shit, it's been missing my whole life and I never noticed.

didn't this already happen a few years ago? or a similar contest?

[QUOTE=Boilrig;51833510]Replace it with what though.[/QUOTE] The Tyrannosaurus Rex piece of course. (An actual piece that can be voted in!)

It was a neato little robot wasn't it

How about the actual Monopoly guy as a piece? Have they seriously never thought of that?

Why not replace it with a tiny little flip phone?

I'm livid. The thimble was my favorite piece.

replace it with something simple yet classic, like a wheelbarrow

[QUOTE=AK'z;51833857]replace it with something simple yet classic, like a wheelbarrow[/QUOTE] iirc there actually was a wheelbarrow as a piece

[QUOTE=TheJoker;51833861]iirc there actually was a wheelbarrow as a piece[/QUOTE] lawnmower then

A rubber duck would fit rather nicely, actually.

Hopefully they just replace it with another car. Everyone wants to be the car. [QUOTE=AtomicSans;51833552]Makes sense.

I still don't really know what it's for.

I was always the fucking thimble what the absolute fuck
