Love Board Games? You Could Choose The Next Monopoly Game Piece
You could choose the next Monopoly game piece thanks to a new competition by Hasbro, the makers of the life-ruining, family-destroying game.
The toymakers launched a vote online to select eight completely new tokens for this year’s version of the board game, and you can choose from:
Scottie the dog, thimble, car, Hazel the cat, battleship, hat, wheelbarrow, boot, horse, rooster, goldfish, tortoise, penguin, rabbit, T-rex, telephone, typewriter, bathtub, television, key, gramophone, trumpet, sports car, race car, motorcycle, helicopter, private jet, monster truck, scooter, smiley face, kissy face, wink, laughter, Mr. Monopoly emoji, hashtag, thumbs up, surfboard, sailboat, life preserver, jetski, beach ball, speed boat, rubber duck, sunglasses, cowboy hat, bow tie, pocket watch, cufflinks, money clip, watch, campfire, wheel, computer, bicycle, camera, sliced bread, wireless phone, cowboy boot, bunny slipper, sneaker, roller-skate, flip flop, dress shoe, and a rain boot.
Phew. It's been a while since the tokens changed, with the iron piece being taken over by a cat in 2013. Ain't that a metaphor for the world.
So if you love Monopoly so much that you want to change it, go to www.VoteMonopoly.com and choose eight different pieces from the above selection. You have until January 31.
Woo.
