Scottie dog has a new nemesis in Monopoly after fans from more than 120 countries voted to add a cat token to the property trading board game, replacing the iron, toy maker Hasbro Inc. (HAS) announced Wednesday. It was the first time that fans have had a say on which of the eight tokens to add and which one to toss.
The results were announced after passionate efforts by fans to save their favorite tokens and businesses eager to capitalize on publicity surrounding pieces that represent their products. The shoe and the wheelbarrow had joined the iron as endangered tokens.
The online contest to change the tokens was sparked by chatter on Facebook, where Monopoly has more than 10 million fans. The vote on Facebook closed just before midnight on Tuesday. More
I love the game but these small pieces are used in a game marketed for families. Does the CPA realize they can be swallowed? What is the difference between this and Bucky Balls?
Those fans probably don't know what an iron is.
