The current tokens that will remain are: Scottie Dog, Car, Battleship, Hat, Boot, Wheelbarrow and Cat. “The lucky Thimble has lost its ‘shine’ with today’s fans and will be retired from the game.” Hasbro hasn’t yet announced what token will replace it, as final results are due to be revealed in March.
“The Thimble token will not “Pass GO” in the next generation of the Monopoly game,” Hasbro said. Hasbro said that with more than 4 million votes cast, the thimble didn’t make the cut. The toy maker had launched a “Monopoly Token Madness” campaign that allowed fans to vote on a mix of the classic eight tokens and dozens of new alternatives.
Hasbro (HAS) confirmed on Thursday that the thimble-a token that was originally added to the game in 1935-didn’t receive enough votes to remain in the updated version of the game that will be sold later this year.
