Hasbro took a vote, and the internet has spoken. The ballots have been counted, and the people have said F the iron — the new Monopoly token will be a cat.
In a poll on the classic game’s Facebook page, Hasbro asked fans which token should be retired forever. The race car, the Scottie dog, top hat, thimble, and battleship will continue to pass go and collect £200, said voters. The boot, iron, and wheelbarrow were in close competition to have their strips strung up on the rafters, but in the end, it was the iron that got canned. In favour of a cat. This was left up to the internet. We should have seen that coming from a mile away. [USA Today via BetaBeat]
I never used the Iron and neither did my friends or family. In fact we sometimes used to use our own totems. Ah well.
A bloody cat, seriously…. this is why the public shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions!
Internet poll results in cat shocker.
I always used the Iron to keep the money on Free Parking “safe” (yes, House Rules)
