The Monopoly Guy.


Why wasn't the Monopoly guy a board piece? Depending on the board game you have, you'll generally have a choice of having one of the following board pieces:
  • Wheelbarrow
  • Battleship
  • Guy on horse
  • Car
  • Train
  • Thimble
  • Cannon
  • Shoe
  • Dog
  • Iron
  • Top Hat
None of these are the Monopoly guy.

Whose idea was it to make a damn wheelbarrow board piece?


Does anybody ever reach for the
thimble in the mad dash for favorite board pieces before starting a game of Monopoly?

It just doesn't make sense that one of the most famous board game celebrities ever would not have a miniaturized version of himself in his own game.

It pisses me off. He has a sweet mustache and cane.

You're right, I have never seen a mad dash for the thimble, but I have seen all out brawls and actual hospitalization from fights over the race car...
