Some of you know that Monopoly is going to dump a classic token and gain a more modern one. For some time I've used my own tokens. My only rule is that they be pewter or other metal similar in color and character to the standard game pieces.

Good on you, Chuck. Gosh, do not remember the last Monotony game we played, but not since Dan was a pup. Did not one of the stores give out a "get out of jail" or a similar card maybe 30 or so years ago as some sort of promotion? 73 On 1/21/2013 12:22 PM, Chuck Hards wrote:

I have a Star Wars edition of Monopoly. It has sat in a closet for 20 years or more never being touched.

I had this on a VHS tape with 'Bambi vs. Godzilla'. Lost it in college when I loaned it to someone and never got it back. Good memories. Dan -- Sent from my iPhone. Please pardon any mispelings or errors. On Jan 22, 2013, at 7:09 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
