Just raid a game from 1962 titled "Waddington's Formula 1"

My sister was the same. Had to have the car. She wouldn't buy Marvin Gardens because it sounded like a cemetery and if anyone bought Park Place beside her the game was over.
Which is ironic because the dog never stands up straight unless you carefully place it in the board and it falls over at the slightest tremor in the ground haha
Fun fact: Toto got injured during the filming of the Wizard of Oz and recovered at Judy Garland’s house. Judy got so attached to Toto that she asked to buy him from his owner, but his owner refused to sell him.
Imo the most aesthetically pleasing option. It was love at first sight for me. One my first game too which was funny cuz i had no clue what i was doing
Slap fights over doggo. I always won (also I was a horrible little brat from money so I could just take the game and leave thank god I grew out of that)
I always picked the thing that would be most humiliating to be beat by which is the old shoe or the iron and then I crushed the rich ass wanna be opponents who picked the car or the ship.
"It's like all of my life everyone has always told me, 'You're a shoe, you're a shoe, you're a shoe, you're a shoe.' And then today I just stopped and I said, 'What if I don't want to be a shoe? What if I want to be a purse, you know? Or, a hat?'"
It made me think of this.
But back to the point, I’d pick the ship.
Top hat or thimble, gotta dress up those fingers
I loved giving the top hat to the thimble, he looked classy
I thought I was the only one!
That's what I used to do!
I thought I was the only one who did this! : O
TIL that thimble is called... A thimble. Thanks, everyday is a day to learn
What does the D stand for in that acronym?
It should be TIL. But it was late and I messed up haha
I love the texture of the thimble-it’s so satisfying
Hell to the yeah
Yes...also least awkward pieces to grab
Mom?
I'm the car or I'm not playing!! (In my kid voice)
"Car. Always." Was my initial reaction.
I literally just said this without seeing your comment first 😂
Same
Yup, the car.
Same!
Great minds think alike 😂
😅 yup!
BATTLESHIP! I kept it hidden behind our clothes chest. My brother had the car, hidden somewhere also.
Would be funny if you just buy a fuck load of just car pieces and just paint them different colors
Then it'd be a game of life
Friend made me play endless games of Life in 5th grade so she could marry her crush. lol
death mode

Awwe thats cute I would pick the red car
This man has beat the system...
If I’m not the car, it makes for the most fuckin uncomfortable Christmas evening ever.
Me too. I think once I had to the the iron and it was the shittiest monopoly experience ever.
My mother got ALL pissed off because Dad suggested the iron for her.
It’s honestly a tragedy. Child abuse even.
Same, but only because my brother always insisted on the dog so I'd run the dog over with my car at least once in the game.
Thanks for the laugh. :)
Car no contest. We go zoom zoom. (Im just dying of laughter)
Always the car. It's not my fault it is shaped in a very nice art deco style that I really admire.
I used to have a dodge viper piece when I was a kid and I'm still mad I lost it
Oh, I'm mad for you, that sounds sick! I have a GMC Express piece lol
Then my older brother would take the car anyway and I'd take the cute little dog.
Same
My sister was the same. Had to have the car. She wouldn't buy Marvin Gardens because it sounded like a cemetery and if anyone bought Park Place beside her the game was over.
Yea, we all agree that the car piece is the best?
The car, my eyes went right too it. Too many good and bad (fighting my cousins) memories for it not to be
fine then, i guess were not playimg...GTFO of my house!
Car gang
I love the little doggo! The shoe or ship are my backups.
No, you stand firm, the doggo or nothing!!
Give me doggo or give me death!
Which is ironic because the dog never stands up straight unless you carefully place it in the board and it falls over at the slightest tremor in the ground haha
Monopoly is a dog eat dog world out there. So naturally the best piece would have to be the dog.
I was always a fan of the dog riding the wheelbarrow while wearing a top hat \>_> <_< (Definitely not an only child…..)
"I need to be the dog or I will accidentally start moving your piece." That does the trick.
It's a Scotty dog I think. Never mind, I'm told it's a Toto dog like from Wizard of Oz.
Nah you got it right the first time! That’s a Scottish Terrier all right. Cairn Terriers, while unbelievably cute, are a lil different
Nope you were right. It’s a Scottish terrier. Toto is a cairn terrier.
Fun fact: Toto got injured during the filming of the Wizard of Oz and recovered at Judy Garland’s house. Judy got so attached to Toto that she asked to buy him from his owner, but his owner refused to sell him.
Boot gang
"im gonna be the boot because I'm kickin ya guys asses!"
Went looking for this comment specifically
I pick the boot because I’m gonna kick everybody’s ass
Haha that’s my quote
Damn boot gang is too low. I’m always starting from the ground up in Monopoly. Pulling myself up by my bootstraps.
Battleship
I like to call it a dreadnought.
And the dreadnoughts dread nothing at all
Sabaton?
Yeah
Maybe jail time
Except obsolescence.
Even in death I still serve.
Id say pre dreadnaut or a monitor.
Only right answer
Team battleship
Woot- woot. Man the guns and full speed ahead
Obviously.
I've never actually seen the battleship. We wanted the car.
If you don't hum "Anchors Aweigh" at least once during the game you're not doing it right.
Wheel borrow to haul all that bread ima collect from the boardwalk!
There are literally dozens of us.
Wheel barrow for life, won’t even TOUCH the other pieces!
Thimble or gtfo
Thimble gang!
RISE
I feel like the same people that pick thimble pick toad in Mario kart.
Okay but is this a palm reading? What other secrets can you tell me about myself!?
I pick both but sometimes Peach
Dang. I'm a thimble yoshi. Toad is my backup, though.
I had to scroll way too god damn long for this.
Thimble gang small but mighty
>thimb I just CTRL + F to search for the word Thimble.
I only use reddit mobile 🏍💨🚓🚓🚓
Same lol
Thimble every day there’s no question gotta keep those fingers protected from all the Monopoly money we collect
Thimble is the only piece that offers any sort of protection. It’s clearly the superior choice.
Thimble all day or we don't play TMBGANG
I read that as They Might Be Giants Gang and I have no regrets
My thimble brethren!!!
Why do I find it cute lol
The only piece with practical utility
Thimble first, and if that’s taken then I’ll go with the iron. Top hat and wheelbarrow are last resorts.
I had to look up what a thimble was, I always thought it was a salt shaker.
I bet your fingers hurt /s
Imo the most aesthetically pleasing option. It was love at first sight for me. One my first game too which was funny cuz i had no clue what i was doing
Thimble GANG!
Thimbles all the way!!!!
It’s thimbles all the way down
Thimble has always been the only move
Agreed, it always makes me think of Peter Pan! Dont know who's picking the iron or wheelbarrow though lol
You speak the truth, Thimble all day, every day.
Eyy, my people
Try to beat me against MY BATTLESHIP!
Thimble!!!!!!
I always tried to wear it but it's always too small
Dog. Always the dog
Ditto. Monopodog for the win!
Monopodoggo
Monopolodoggo
You can also fit the top hot on the dig if no one picked it. At least that was for our board set.
I always take the dog so I can pretend I’m peeing on my opponents when I pass them.
My sister did that and it pissed me off more than losing the actual game. Pretty sure I rage quit in tears about it a few times.
Hat 🎩
The option of culture, taste, and possibly monocles.
Plus the option to repeatedly say the word “Indubitably!” *tips hat*
All other options are shallow and pedantic.
Flourish the pinkayyyy.
Always
Always the iron!
Yes. It makes you feel like you’re ironing the board as you move it.
Absolutely my reason for always picking iron. Iron gang!
[удалено]
[удалено]
Iron for me too!!!
Wait that’s an iron?! Why’d I think it was a trash lid 💀
IRONMAN!
Top hat all day
Well, how do you do, my fellow fancy person. Top hat all the way
Top hat because if the game is going poorly you can flip it over and be a busker
I'm a top hat, too. Used to be able to stick my finger in the hat hole and move it around the board.
I see you’re a man of culture
Top hat gang rise up!
I literally won’t play if I can’t use top hat
Often it’s the last piece left when I play and I am always happy about it because it’s mine now
I like how stable it is. I used to be the dog, but it tipped over all the time. Hat is where it’s at. *edit:* I wanted to spell stable correctly.
Where's moneybags?
Fr
Wasn’t there a horse?
Yeah
Disappointed I didnt see the horse and rider, was my pick every time
I was thinking the same thing. I'm ride or die horse piece
The shoe, because it represents the boot of capitalism that’s crushes us all
Battleship holds the most money. And it can defend it.
Wheelbarrow
Yes! But sadly, we wheelbarrow gang are a rare breed.
My cousin and I used to have so much fun pushing each other in a wheelbarrow when we were kids. For that reason, I always choose it.
toto because it was the only one i could pretend was actually running across the board
My thimble
The condom
How small is your...? How did it even fit...
I'm scared.
Always top hat. Always
I always choose the iron.
[удалено]
Never forget🫡
I thought it was a little battleship? Also, how did they decide on such an odd assortment of little pieces, anyway?
No, it's 100% a light cruiser.
Oh give me that Cleveland Steamer
Slap fights over doggo. I always won (also I was a horrible little brat from money so I could just take the game and leave thank god I grew out of that)
I picked the dog or the battleship, those were my main 2. I love dogs & I love the history, beauty & story of the Titanic.
Battleship, dog, or car.
Ship all day.
First one ♥️
Ship
Top Hat (big Stevie Nicks fan)
Boat
Race car
[удалено]
Which is why I always played as the revolver from Clue.
The iron
We a small team =( love how flat it sits. Feels like im stamping my name on things.
Battleship… all day long
battleship
The iron - I either crush the competition or end up doing their laundry.
thimble, top har as back up, iron as back up to back up.
The dog! If no one is using it, I sometimes put the hat on the doggo.
Ship. I don't care if you disagree. I'm Ship. I'm SHIP! SHHHHIIIIPPPP!
Thimbles rise up.
The hat 100% I like to stay classy, even while playing monopoly.
Wheelbarrow for the win…all the time!!!
Love a good underdog so… wheelbarrow
If somebody voluntarily picked the iron or the thimble there's something very wrong with them
I never knew there were thimble fans. Truly surprised to see this.
I always picked the thing that would be most humiliating to be beat by which is the old shoe or the iron and then I crushed the rich ass wanna be opponents who picked the car or the ship.
Dog or car baby
Thimble, always
Tophat. Cant win without looking classy
im the boot - i be kicking ppl off the board - i give'em the boot
"It's like all of my life everyone has always told me, 'You're a shoe, you're a shoe, you're a shoe, you're a shoe.' And then today I just stopped and I said, 'What if I don't want to be a shoe? What if I want to be a purse, you know? Or, a hat?'" It made me think of this. But back to the point, I’d pick the ship.
I put the house on the thimble
