It has been suggested by game historians these game tokens were actually charms intended for. Curiously, a few of the earliest tokens have been discovered to consist of a small hole. These tiny game pieces were made of metal. All of them could be replaced by an especially zeitgeisty bunch of candidates. The first Monopoly game tokens, produced by Parker Brothers in 1935, were the thimble, ship, shoe, hat, cannon, and iron. The first four tokens date all the way back to the original version of the game in 1935. The current roster of tokens consists of a top hat, thimble, battleship, shoe, Scottie dog, car, wheelbarrow, and cat (who was only added in 2013 when a vote replaced the iron with it). The eight winners will be revealed on March 19, World Monopoly Day. Voting, which takes place, fittingly at, started on Tuesday, and the polls will be open until January 31. “The Monopoly Token Madness Vote lets our passionate fans choose all eight tokens in the Monopoly game and no token - not even the Scottie dog - is safe!” Hasbro Gaming’s Senior Vice President of Marketing Jonathan Berkowitz announced in a release. All of the classic tokens, including the top hat, thimble, and Scottie dog, are on the chopping block, meaning that voters could elect to replace these time-honored tokens with a variety of little golden emoji. Hasbro announced on Monday that it is launching a contest where fans can vote on a roster of 64 possible tokens to decide what the new playing pieces should be.

M onopoly, a board game best known for causing family fights when grandma tries to screw you over with a hotel on Park Place, could change in a big, big way.
