Monopoly Boots 3 Classic Pieces
Do not pass GO, Do not collect $200. Riots are breaking out on Boardwalk as we write this. It is GAME OVER for 3 classic Monopoly pieces.
After an online vote, HASBRO has decided to replace the thimble, the boot and the wheelbarrow.
Those original pieces have been a part of the board game since 1935. Other classic tokens that will remain in the game are the race car, the Scottish Terrier, the battleship, the top hat, and the cat.
What are they being replaced with? A Tyrannosaurus Rex, a rubber duckie and a penguin.
Is it possible the thimble lost the electoral college, but won the popular vote? It seems like the internet is in an uproar over the outcome of this election.
Hasbro tweeted the results of the online poll (which can also be read here)
