The Nerf Howler is also in stock and readily available from Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.co.au, and elsewhere...which, combined with an earlier not-supposed-to-be-a-hint-but-was-totally-a-hint, tells me the Nerf Howler is not the game piece.
(Of the four possible hints--if you count this as one--that point to the game piece being a standard regulation football, it's the "First Choice Points to get some shipped, International Teams Only" that seals the deal in my mind. There is literally no other playing piece I can think of that is ubiquitous in the US but difficult to obtain elsewhere. I've been pretty good at guessing overall game themes most years, and game elements some years, and I've never been as convinced I'm right as I am this year.... That said, it'll be fun to be right, and as fun to be wrong.)
