What is your favorite Monopoly token? How about your favorite
Monopoly property?
The answers (in order recieved):
Token: Top Hat
Property: Anything in the yellow area.
The ship, and Boardwalk, of course.
Hmm, haven't played it in a long time, so I'm not sure...I think I
liked the dog? Or the hat? Was there a shoe, too? As for the property, I
have
no idea! (What kind of a question is this??)
Never underestimate MARVIN GARDENS! Three reasons: (1) It's key
when owning the rest of the yellows, which can be strategic to winning.
(2)
There's a card that sends even more people to the property. (3) How can
you go
wrong with a place named after the fine botantical display of one of my
favorite Martians! "I claim this property in the name of Mars... oooh,
isn't
that lovely?"
I like the little car. Though when I used to play Monopoly with my
brother he'd call dibs on the little car and I'd take either the hat or
the guy
on the horse. As for property (aside from the obvious appeal of
Boardwalk) for
some reason I'd go with St. James Place. I don't know, it seems like I
always
end up with it.
I was always partial to the little doggie, and for some reason I
also always liked those cheap properties that you first land on. I don't
know
why. Maybe I was a street mongrel in another life. =-)
If possible, I always try to play with the car. I don't know why,
I've just always used that.
Favorite property.. Hmm. Tough. Probably the train stations. I always try
to
get all of them.
Ugh, I suck at and dislike Monopoly! Give me a nice book, Boggle,
Uno, or Connect Four instead!
I like the dog.... or the hat. The idea of a hat walking on it's
own amuses me. My favorite property, that's easy....Saint James
place...why?
Because if I get Saint James Place....YOU DON'T!!!!!!
the dog
Marvin Gardens
The terrier and I like buying the Marching Band (in the Michiganopoly
version, not the original) like I'm some rich alumni named Don Shepard.
baltic. and the horse, of course.
The Hat and the Railroads... They don't have the big payoff of the
Big Blue properties, but with one on each side they get hit more often...
Token - The Battleship
Property - New York
The hat. And favorite property - Boardwalk. Although I have a
fondness for St. Charles Place - the price is right and one of the Go
cards
leads there so you have guaranteed victims.
Token: The Train Engine
Property? Gotta go with Illinois Ave.
(although, if I'm playing Michiganopoly, then obviously my favorite
property is
Yost)
My favorite token is the shoe (there was a shoe wasn't there) and my
favorite property isn't a property at all--it's FREE PARKING!!!
The car. Marvin Gardens.
I always liked the race car token. Don't really know why.
Never had a favorite Monopoly property....
Like most people, I've always been keen on the car (although the
wheelbarrow does have a certain charm to it). Mad "props" to Park Place,
since
my fam used to live on a similarly-named street in Sterling Heights, back
in
the day.
My favorite token is the thimble, because it makes no real sense for
it to be a marker in a board game. Where else can you yell out, "ooh, I
wanna
be the thimble!"
Favorite property, hrm. Probably 'Marvin Gardens' just because I like to
say
it.
The Dog and Park Place. Regarding property, I have expensive, but
not the most expensive, taste!
My answer:
My favorite token is the wrench that somehow migrted over from the Clue
set. Amongst traditional Monopoly tokens I have a fondness for the
wheelbarrow. As far as property goes, St. James Place, which my sister
always beats me to.
