  • The losing Monopoly Piece....

    So, there was a vote and the Thimble lost, so it will be replaced. A couple of pieces that are up for consideration to replace it? A hashtag and an emoji. Seriously. http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/16/tech...-vote-thimble/

    However, if it's the emoji, the only logical emoji is the poop emoji.

            I always thought the pieces were in some way related to sectors of the economy. Top hat -- banking, iron -- textiles, etc.

            My suggestion for pieces in 1930 and now:

            1930
            top hat -- banking
            iron -- textiles
            car -- auto
            derrick -- oil
            wheelbarrow -- construction
            plow -- agriculture

            2017
            cash register -- retail
            beaker -- science
            stethoscope -- medicine
            laptop -- computers
            windmill - renewables
            trophy wife -- finance

              A piece has always been metal, not silicone. Well at least a Monopoly piece ...

                        I'm surprised that they don't have more special edition Monopoly versions.

                        The international travel version might have Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, Great Pyramid, Washington Monument, Christ the Redeemer statue, and a Terra Cotta Warrior as game pieces.

                          ? I thought there were trillions of them.

                          But I'm not sure if they have themed pieces. The Cornell version would have to include a hockey player. And a suicide.
