I am very sad about Monopoly

Why mess with a classic :-(

[mbcdefg]

I don't like when classic things are changed just for the sake of change.

Especially since the proposed new tokens are nothing special.

Someone should buy this for me. I'm reforming my spending & can't :-(

This would have been an excellent gift for the elfster exchange.

This is depressing! Those new tokens suck!

Thimble/Iron/Dog all the way. My set is so old we don't even have the battleship.

Kore, if I had known you wanted that, I would have gotten it for you!!!

[rosetyler]

Why are they messing with this? Is it some kind of sick PR stunt? All I'm saying is that if the shoe goes...well, I don't think it will do anything to my life, but I'll be sad for a minute.

[mrshandy]

Not the shoe! I can't access facebook at work. Which token is losing?

I think the wheelbarrow and the iron are lowest right now.

Wheelbarrow - 3%
Hat - 5%
Shoe - 6%

I looked for the original Clue the other day, & they modernized it. There's a child actress & an athlete now.

What the...?

[marylou]

I wish they offered some type of backstory for each one. I always wondered why they chose what they did, like the thimble and iron. They are all pretty random, really.

And I just voted for the robot. It's cute.

I was just going to say, I feel super old. I remember when the Battleship was introduced. :-(

[heyrebekah]

How could they get rid of the hat?!

The wheelbarrow does suck though. And I like the robot with his little mustache.

THEY CAN ALL GO!

BOOOO! Board games rule.

[SuziSaysDa]

Oh no, I like the hat. But the addition of a diamond ring, then I would have a definite favorite.

[SJ]

We have the "classic" versions of all these games which makes my nostalgic side happy.

(I can't find a picture, but it is a series that looks like books, and they are the original versions of Risk, Clue, Monopoly, Stratego, etc. etc)

We have these too! Love them!

I also saw the regular old Monopoly at B&N the other day, for anyone interested in getting it before they mess it up.

Nooooo!!! :-(

I actually bought the CLUE Summerhouse edition or whatever it was on ebay years and years ago. My mom still has it at their house.

My Monopoly set has a cowboy. No battleship. Do I just have a really old set?

[LoveTrains]

OMG I love the wheelbarrow. and the hat. and the iron!

[stumpy]

This is the way I felt when they added blue M&M's . . . it was all about change for change sake.
(I also remember when they had to get rid of the red M&M b/c of a cancer scare.)
Red M&M's are my favorite.

Back to original post . . . this makes me MAD! I love Monopoly and nobody should mess with it!

[KaraOrNot]

I am always the hat. It can't go.

[polarbearfans]

THE HAT IS MY FAVORITE!

[pugz]

I have always hated Monopoly, that game takes days to play! 3 day minimum!

[Here]

Iron is my favorite!
