For anyone who has not bought a copy of standard Monopoly in the past few years, these are all of the standard game pieces. The iron was replaced by the cat in 2013, and the thimble, wheelbarrow, and shoe were replaced by the penguin, the T-Rex, and the rubber ducky in 2017.

Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200 if old.

So you're saying I can't play Fortnite on a Monopoly board?

A feeble effort.

Top Hat for fucking life.

Actually you can. There is a fortnite themed Monopoly with different rules (round are much faster).

... I reluctantly retract my criticism, in that case. They win this round.

 

[HououinKyouma]

Maaaan, I thought they'd throw a Mr. Monopoly skin in there as well. I can dream.

 

[cyress8]

Looks real low effort.

Crossover checks out, my experience with Fortnite also involved people suddenly building Hotels in mere seconds that doomed me for daring to exist in their vicinity.

 

[HockeyBird]

I'm glad your clarified that it was the board game. For a second, I thought Steam himself was coming to Fortnite.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

No Thimble no play.

 

[Rickenslacker]

They got rid of the thimble? Those motherfuckers.

The new 2017 pieces were decided by a popular vote. T-Rex, penguin, and rubber ducky got more votes than thimble, wheelbarrow, and shoe/boot. Where were you when the thimble needed you most?

I actually hate the back blings that are just regular ass objects glued to the characters back.

Honestly good riddance. The old 3 were clearly decided at a time when the most popular activity to do outside was hoop rolling.

 

[Masterspeed]

T Rex? Is that new?

As of 2017, yes.

 

[KDC720]

First time I'm learning they got rid of the thimble and I'm gutted.

Maybe I'll grab the cat if it's cheap enough, but a Mr. Monopoly skin would have been pretty cool.

 

[RockmanBN]

Yo where's the cowboy boot? Tbh I thought they would have made the Monopoly Man a skin.

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

The iron came with its own handle. Alas. Imagine being an online poll option opposing a cat...

The boot is no longer a standard Monopoly piece.

I also wish they made the Monopoly Man a skin, would have been great

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I need that cat backbling.

Wait, the thimble and the boot is gone?

Nooo my favourite pieces :(

This license is totally borne of passive aggressive snarkiness toward Apple, huh 😆

 

[zMiiChy-]

Wow, and I here I thought I was the only one that mained Thimble.

 

[AvianAviator]

I thought this was going to be a new game mode where you could somehow play monopoly in the game. I'm kind of disappointed.

Update: you get early access to these buy buying a new version of Fortnite Monopoly (the third version). Already sold out at GameStop.
