iron token is out, cat is in with fan vote</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style="">The</SPAN><SPAN

<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style=""><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style="">The token, a staple
of the Hasbro board game since the 1930s, is being retired after only
garnering 8% of fan votes in a "Save Your Token" campaign. The Scottie dog was
the clear choice for fans and game players from 185 countries, getting 29% of
the vote.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style="">While the iron
leaves the game, a new cat will take its place passing "GO!" and collecting
$200 going forward. The feline piece conquered its own competition in a
separate vote on the</SPAN><SPAN style=""> </SPAN><I>Monopoly</I><SPAN
style=""> </SPAN><SPAN style="">Facebook page, winning over four other
proposed tokens — a toy robot, guitar, helicopter and diamond ring — with
31%.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style=""><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style="">"We know that cat
lovers around the world will be happy to welcome the new cat token into the
Monopoly game," said Eric Nyman, senior vice president and global brand leader
for Hasbro Gaming, in a statement. "While we're a bit sad to see the iron go,
the cat token is a fantastic choice by the fans and we have no doubt it will
become just as iconic as the original tokens."</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style=""><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style="">Last week in the
home stretch of the "Save Your Token" campaign that began in early January,
the iron was in a dead heat with the wheelbarrow and the shoe with 7% each to
avoid being last place. Harrisburg, Pa., tool manufacturer Ames True Temper
even launched a YouTube campaign to rally fans for last-minute votes in favor
of the wheelbarrow.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style=""><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto"><SPAN style="">The cat will join
the wheelbarrow, shoe, race car, top hat, thimble, Scottie dog and battleship
in the</SPAN><SPAN style=""> </SPAN><I>Monopoly</I><SPAN
style=""> </SPAN><SPAN style="">game beginning in late summer when the
latest edition hits store shelves. A limited-edition "Golden Token" Monopoly
($17.99) arrives exclusively in Target stores this month and will feature gold
tokens of all the current lineup — including the last appearance of the iron —
and the five proposed new pieces.</SPAN></DIV>
