Monopoly

Which Monopoly piece did you aggressively commandeer when the box was brought down from the top of the wardrobe?

For the purposes of this poll the pieces shall be from the UK version in the 1980s, the greatest decade for being born, synth music and board games.

I was a top hat myself so if you too choose that one I congratulate you on your sublime taste.

The iron.

I move it along the board as if I’m ironing the properties.

The car.

Like Sexton Blake racing through the streets of London in his Grey Panther (Rolls Royce)

Why isn't the thimble in the poll?

T-Rex in the new version is my choice.

Used to be a boss Monopoly themed fruit machine.
Had The Stranglers tunes as the feature..

But was always the Car.

The car, with accompanying race car noise on each go and crashing other pieces off the board.

The Top Hat, I used to think (and still do) that a top hat is the kind douchey thing that a person who really is a big property tycoon would wear!

The "boat" (actually a warship I believe).

The ship. A boat is a submarine. A ship is a target.

Quite right sir.

I actually had my Navy mates correct me about this a million times but for me it just doesn't seem to take hold.

If you're a craft in the water then you're a boat. Or some sort of futuristic duck.

I like the idea of being a futuristic duck

Top Hat here too. Used to have all night Monopoly sessions, IOU Notes, three hotels on a street, taxes go in the middle, collect if landing on free parking. Loved it. Obv tactics were to get control of the red, yellows and greens.
