PAWTUCKET, RI — Scottie dog has a new nemesis in Monopoly after fans voted in an online contest to add a cat token to the game, replacing the iron, toymaker Hasbro Inc. announced yesterday.
The results were revealed after the shoe, wheelbarrow and iron were neck and neck for elimination in the final hours of voting.
The vote on Facebook closed just before midnight on Tuesday. Other pieces contending for a spot included a robot, diamond ring, helicopter and guitar.
“We put five new tokens out for our fans to vote on, and there were a lot of fans of the many different tokens, but I think there were a lot of cat lovers in the world that reached out and voted,” said Jonathan Berkowitz, vice president for Hasbro gaming marketing.
