Look out, Scottie dog: This cat will be joining the next Monopoly game

2/6/2013

The Monopoly iron has been unplugged for the last time and will go on to that Great Game Board in the Sky. After collecting the fewest number of votes in a fan-driven Facebook contest, the iron will be replaced by an alert-looking cat in an updated version of the game. "I think there were a lot of cat lovers in the world that reached out and voted for the cat to be the new token," Hasbro vice-president Jonathan Berkowitz said. He also noted that the collar-wearing kitty collected more votes than a robot, a diamond ring, a helicopter and a guitar. The cat will make its debut later this year, passing Go and collecting $200. Your move, Scottie dog. [Source]
