I for one am not on board with the exchange of the Iron for the Cat on the monopoly board.
I for one actually think I can remember that I always preferred the Iron when I played. But that aside, lets look at what these iconoclastic icons represent.
The shoe represents wisdom
The iron represents vision
The battleship represents words
The dog represents winning
The thimble represents blessings
The wheelbarrow represents poetry
The top hat represents respect
The car represents mastery
The cat? I suggest it represents Sex.
It is sleek and feline. And I do respect that the cat lovers may feel misrepresented. The psychological relevance of a small metallic icon are such that the real representation is not psychologically congruent with the reality of the game today.
Note: I am certainly not a Freudian guy, but I think that this is a true reality and of course, Sex Sells. So if this is a psychological monicker for the issue of the cream of the crop tomorrow, we are on to a new era of human casualty although I hardly think it will make a difference. That said, I did like the Iron.
