Monopoly. You loved it when you were 10 years old and haven’t thought seriously about it in a long time. It’s the game that everyone house-rules because it can be paralyzingly boring without additional entertainment. Now it’s changing forever.
Monopoly finally loses its worst piece, the thimble

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Hasbro announced on Thursday that the never-selected thimble would be lost from the game. The loser of an online poll, the thimble will make way for one of several proposed new pieces. There’s even a new version in the works that sounds utterly horrible, according to the Associated Press.
Hashtags, emojis, and even a rubber duck may replace dogs, cats, and hats in an upcoming version.
One does not simply replace the dog. The dog is objectively the best Monopoly piece. I can’t believe I’m getting angry about Monopoly pieces, I don’t even like Monopoly that much. OK, FINE, we’re ranking Monopoly pieces.
- Dog.
- Car.
- Top hat.
- Battleship.
- Boot.
- Wheelbarrow.
- Iron (Retired in 2013 and replaced with cat, but cat is not recognized)
- Thimble.
These rankings are definitive and not to be argued with.
