Classic Monopoly - Changes are coming!Giveaway #tokenvote

 I am always the Thimble... and if that's taken, then I'm the shoe... yep, we're talking about Monopoly if you haven't already guessed - and no matter what, I fight for my pieces! Wayne prefers to be either the racecar or the Scottie dog... but all of that may change soon! Monopoly is overhauling their tokens for the first time ever, one will be retired for good, making room for one new token to take it's place! 

When you play a game of MONOPOLY do you always use the same token?
Will the shoe get the boot? Will the wheelbarrow be dumped? Will the top hat be hung up for good? One thing is certain – one of the classic eight tokens is headed to jail. Who will stay and who will go? It’s up to you!


Monopoly is part of my family memories of summers at the cottage and winters hanging out in our basement - my brother Mark always won - he's the financial guru in the family and the biggest wheeler dealer... but it was always fun to play anyway...
I'm kinda sad that there are changes afoot, but since it must be, it must be... change is inevitable.  Don't leave the choice up to Chance or other people, make your voice heard and vote for your favorite MONOPOLY token at www.Facebook.com/Monopoly and then vote for which of the five new tokens should take it's place in the roster!

Up for retirement are: the battleship, iron, racecar, Scottie dog, shoe, thimble, top hat, or wheelbarrow.

The five new tokens up for consideration are: the diamond ring, guitar, toy robot, cat, and helicopter.

Be sure to stay up to date on all things MONOPOLY and cast your daily ballot at: www.Facebook.com/Monopoly . Tweeting about the vote? Use #tokenvote.

As part of the ongoing debate, one lucky Acting Balanced reader from the US has a chance to get their hands on one of the last 'old school' versions of this classic game - just complete the rafflecopter form below:

I love this game! I think they should get rid of the iron. I voted to keep the car and of course I chose the cat for the new token.

Coincidentally, I have always chosen the shoe! :-) I'd vote to eliminate the thimble, and of course replace it with a CAT! :-))

I love the little Scottie Dog the best. I will definitely have to vote for the cat token for the new one :)

Monopoly is one of my favorite board games, it always has been! I would usually pick the iron or the Scottie dog piece. If they do get rid of one piece, I think it should be the battleship and replace it with either the diamond ring or the cat.

What a great post, Shannon! Have a great weekend!

i might get rocks thrown at me for saying this- but i continue to think that religious symbols, whether in india, the vatican or tokyo- were not originally meant to represent images, products, or even ideas to be sold. the fact that they are all on the marketplace today is a quirk of modern society. no, i'm not recommending we go back in time, just making an observation. (go ahead, throw rocks.) :)
I love this game! I think they should get rid of the iron. I voted to keep the car and of course I chose the cat for the new token. Looking for the best wheelbarrow for your garden yeard?
