what token do you use when you play it? this can tell lots about you as a person

[Alibobs]

I always have the iron.... as a child I refused to play without it!!! That sounds terrible for starters. As a grown up I do have a bit of an ironing thing going on ......I have to do it as soon as the washing's dry, I can't bear to let it pile up

[-Zorro-]

Ive discovered that you dont actually have to iron clothes...coz they get crumpled anyway when you wear them

Hey Ducky xxx

I am always the Iron or the Doggy!

An interesting fact about the tokens in Monopoly is that they were chosen to represent the two ends of society: the boat, car and top hat symbolise the wealthy classes and the dog, iron and old boot symbolise the poorer classes.

Incidentally, I'm always the dog, although I don't like them in real life.

i suppose they dont have a busty tartan token for wonderwoman................lol

[wonderwoman1]

lmao curly!!! xxx

What do you mean "this can tell lots about you as a person" ? You silly fathead. No it can't. I've noticed that you always clog up the site with inane drivel at about this time of the evening. Get A Grip.

p.s. I've reported it, naturally enough, and I always use the Hat or the Boot and try to buy the Trafalgar Square set. I hate the Utilities because the fines are derisory.

Always the little scotty dog and I will fight any other players to have it!!

:o)

I usually opt for whatever's left at the end ... mostly the boat, or iron...

Hasbro did a poll in 1988 to see which pieces were the most popular ...

Racing Car, 18%
Dog, 16%
Cannon, 14%
Top Hat, 10%
Boat, 9%
Horse and Rider, 8%
Shoe, 8%
Thimble, 7%
Iron, 7%
Wheelbarrow, 3%


The new version has ...

McDonald's fries
Starbucks Coffee
New Balance running shoe
Toyota Prius
Motorola RAZR mobile phone
A Jumbo Jet
a Labrador
and a Laptop Computer

... and you get 2 Million quid for passing Go

It was also very weird in Africa, seeing an Arabic version for sale, although I've seen a Welsh version here (which is weirdest?)

[naz_nomad]

p.s. give Woofter 1 star ... that really winds them up

[Athley]

What's on the Welsh version naz?

:o)
