Apparently there is a poll to determine what token is retired, and a second poll for what new token to introduce. I’m a little sad about this 🙁 but at the same time would love the addition of a kitty token!
MemberYeah, get rid of the thimble – most people don’t even know what it is now! Personally, I’d like to see a helicopter, but I can imagine a lot of arguments ensuing over that (“I didn’t land on your hotel, I flew straight over it!!”)
MemberWe dont have a battleship here, we have a horse jumping up on its hind legs. Interesting
Member@sentenced2life: Hmm, my old Monopoly set from the 80’s has both.
MemberI hadn’t heard about this but agree, the thimble is so old school. I would love the horse one a PP mentioned!
Edit: 600th post! Woo!
MemberI wouldn’t miss the iron at all. I voted to replace it with the diamond ring which I think is fitting since this poll is on WeddingBee. hehe
MemberWhere is the option for not changing any? I don’t see the need. I mean Mickey Mouse is getting on should we replace him? Should we change the hungry hungry hippos to really hungry mice?
MemberI love the thimble! Nix the wheelbarrow and add the diamond ring 🙂

HostessRetire the iron… I don’t know anyone who uses it!
Add the diamond ring!
MemberThis is just a marketing schtick on their part. The “modern” tokens are no more “modern” than the existing ones.
Guess they feel that board games are facing stiff competition these days.
MemberOh gosh, retire the iron! Who wants to be lumped with that thing?!
MemberI always play with the dog, but I like the thimble because it can fit on my pinky. ^_^ I’d retire the shoe, though. I’ve never liked that shoe for some reason. They should replace it with a sneaker!
MemberAhh I remember the horse. That was in my original game. Not the one I have now. I say kick out the wheel barrow.
