Drumroll, Please: And The New Monopoly Piece Is.....

February 6, 2013 / board games, breaking news, but are they gonna sell the new token seperately because i already have a perfectly functional version of monopoly already, congratulations, i'm just happy that stupid robot didn't win, kitty!, meow, monopoly, sure why not, the iron is getting the boot, voting for things that really don't matter to you but are half-fun anyways, where was 4chan voting a dildo into first place?, yeah you did

The board (bored?) gamers' votes have been tallied and the new monopoly token will be...THE KITTY. "The picture kind of gave it away." You're like a modern day Sherlock Holmes. The piece voted to be removed was the iron, which I think we can all agree is the crappiest piece anyways. Some people would argue the wheelbarrow is the worst piece but those people obviously never experienced the joy of being pushed around in a wheelbarrow as a kid (or adult). Nobody's ever had a memorable experience with an iron that wasn't burning themselves.

Thanks to ChaosLex, who's so chaotic he's never played a game of Monopoly that hasn't ended with him flipping the board and eating a hotel.

    Guy Makes Custom 'Fallout' Board Game For Wife
    April 16, 2013
    This is the custom Fallout board game that Redditor XsimonbelmontX (of Castlevania fame?!) spent eight months making for his wife's birthday. Despite the board's resemblance to Monopoly, he says the only similarity in gameplay is the ability to buy property. Everything else i... / Continue →
  • It Was Only A Matter Of Time: Skyrim Monopoly
    January 6, 2012
    Note: Larger version HERE in case you want to, I dunno, print it out and tape it inside a Playboy or something. I know what you're into! So I was half joking in the shoutout of that Mass Effect Monopoly post when I said my re-re friend Terry was waiting for a Skyrim version. ... / Continue →

    lucky little shit kids that live today get a fucking cat instead of the iron. i hated that fucking dog as a kid, i always pretended it was a cat and insisted it was, and now they have a cat. goddammit, now i need to buy a monopoly set just to say 'hey, man, i have a cat. in my monopoly set. legit.'

  • I still think they should change all of the pieces. Maybe just have some the same but with a total remodel. Like a Lambo or Ferrari as the car, make the dog a detailed husky or pom. Ect, ect...

  • One step closer to world domination my pretties!

    I'm drunk, and I approve this.

    The iron was the best piece. Have you ever touched the iron? It felt so good.

  • AdvancePlays

    WHAT THE FUCK. FUCKING SHIT, THAT IRON IS FUCKING BOSS. Not happy about this, you motherfuckers.

  • JJtoob

    Not that anyone is forcing you guys to use the provided figurines. You can use a Gundam Exia 00 Raiser if that's what you are into.

  • Bubbubsky

    You're a kitty!

  • I WANTED THE ROBOT

  • What a fucking surprise this is! The internet, voted for something with, and or, about a cat. I NEVER saw this coming.... This is almost as shocking as saying Asian people eat a lot of rice, or Americans are fat and lazy, or Irish people are drunk a lot. These are things I would have never figured out on my own, much like which piece would be selected by the internet. END RANT.

    Too bad boobs didn't win... it was the only other option.

  • I'm kinda surprised there wasn't a pizza cuz that would have been a tie with the cat. Boobs would have been great but sadly Milton Bradley lacks a sense of humor and would likely never do this.
    I think I need to start making custom Monopoly pieces of boobs and dicks and things, that is the wave of the future that will soon be washing over the board gaming masses of the world.

  • Once again the internet answers the call and a cat wins over everything else.

  • They left it up to the internet, of course they chose cats.

    It's only fair. Monopoly's long had the dog for the dog people. Add the cat for the cat people. My heart does go out to those who were genuinely rooting for the helicopter, but surely there's no love lost for the robot on this site.

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    damn internet

  • DarthJIm

    Boo. Cats. Boo, I say.

  • MorningPanda

    I'm okay with this.

    ...Until that bitch hotels me on Boardwalk.
