Hasbro has announced the
winning tokens from the MONOPOLY Token Madness Vote. Fans across the globe have
spoken, and the eight tokens set to ‘pass GO’ in the next generation of the
MONOPOLY game are the Scottie dog, top
hat, car, battleship, cat, T-rex, rubber ducky, and penguin tokens.
The
vote, which kicked off on the 10th of January and ran until the 31st of
January, offered the public an opportunity to select their favourite eight
tokens from 64 possible options. This monumental MONOPOLY campaign drew more
than 4.3 million votes, empowering fans to make their mark on the iconic game.
The new, fan-picked
lineup of MONOPOLY Tokens includes:
·
Scottie Dog Token:
The best friend of Mr. MONOPOLY since the 1950s, the Scottie Dog token proved
its popularity by receiving the most votes – making it the overall first place
winner.
·
T-Rex Token:
The mighty T-Rex token stomped its way into the new game, garnering the second
most overall votes and making history as the first dinosaur token of Mr.
MONOPOLY.
·
Top Hat Token:
Coming in third place in overall votes, the Top Hat token – a staple in the
game since 1935 – will keep Mr. MONOPOLY looking dapper well into the future.
·
Car Token:
This 1930s roadster will continue fueling adrenaline rushes for Mr. MONOPOLY in
the next generation of the game; coming in fourth place in overall votes.
·
Rubber Ducky Token:
Coming in fifth in overall votes, the new Rubber Ducky token is truly all its
“quacked” up to be.
·
Cat Token:
Fans voted the Cat token into the game in 2013, and she clawed her way back in
as one of the eight winning tokens, coming in sixth place in overall votes.
·
Penguin Token:
Waddling into the game in seventh place in overall votes, the Penguin token is
the new style muse for Mr. MONOPOLY.
·
Battleship Token:
The beloved Battleship token represents the first round-the-world trip for Mr.
MONOPOLY; securing the eighth spot in overall votes, this token’s legacy will
cruise into the next generation of the game.
The
next generation of the MONOPOLY game will be available for purchase this August,
but you don’t need to wait until then to get in on the MONOPOLY game play. You
can pick up the MONOPOLY Token Madness
edition or localised MONOPOLY Mzansi
edition at your nearest retailer.
