Monopoly: Iron will be retired
« on: February 08, 2013, 08:57:58 am »
The iron token in the game of Monopoly will be replaced with a cat. What do you think about this? Do you think in many years, people will pay a lot of money for the iron?

I think they should have picked the diamond ring as their new token. That would have been cool.

I never cared much for the iron anyway - I like the change to a cat.

It doesn't matter to me because I have several monopoly games.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My kids were talking about this the other day, that the iron was replaced with a cat and now the dog will chase the cat around the board.  lol

I kinda liked the iron.  My mom always chose that when I was growing up.

The iron was always my least favorite piece, but although sad change is good.

It's probably a move to increase sales in the game by replacing the iron with the   :cat:  .

I was never emotionally attached to the iron.  The next improvement they could make is to shorten the game so it can be played in less than 2 hours.  Most of us have other things to do beside "scoot" a cat around on the board.

 :heart:
Have a great day!
