The thimble never wins, ever, never, ever!

Thimble ?!?

PROPER Monopoly only ever had the dog, the ship, the racing car, the top hat, the boot and the iron.

When did all this thimble nonsense start?

 

[tedebear]

I'm sure I had a thimble in my set? Maybe Australian monopoly was different? Maybe I've gone mad

 

[Man of Harveys]

Shortly after the A-rabs all came here specifically in order to ban Christmas, tell our children what to sing and to wear masks.

Maybe they banned the little Scottie dog - because it did look a little bit like the ones on the label of the BLACK & WHITE whisky bottle. Thoroughly offensive IMHO.

We had the London board but with dollars and I swear we had a thimble!!

 

[tedebear]

Ha - the thimble exists - lookey here:

 

[Trufflehound]

That's just an open Monopoly box that someone's tossed a couple of thimbles into.

(Why two anyway?)

 

[tedebear]

The one on the left is a bucket

A BUCKET? What kind of WEIRD Monopoly is that?!

(I really, really fancy a game of Monopoly now)

 

[Dr Q]

Isn't that another top hat skulking in the bottom right hand corner under some houses/hotels?

I don't know, Zef told me that - I though it looked like two thimbles to be honest...

I used to play monopoly over the internet with my sister years ago! How sad is that!
