Are you obsessed with monopoly as much as me? Then here is some good news for you. Monopoly tokens are going to see a change once again, but this time fans get to help!

Hasbro, the toy company that owns Monopoly, is letting fans vote to bring back their favorite game piece! Fox 46 Charlotte reports that fans will get to decide to bring back one of the six retired pieces. The six-game pieces up for votes include:

  • Thimble
  • Wheelbarrow
  • Iron
  • Boot
  • Horse & Rider
  • Money Bag

Voting began a week ago but will continue over the next three weeks. Fans can vote online for their favorite piece they would like to return to the famous board game.

After voting for which game piece they think should return, you will also get to vote which piece you would like to see retire. The options for pieces to be removed from the game include:

  • Scottie
  • Hazel
  • Battleship
  • T-Rex
  • Penguin
  • Race Car
  • Rubber Duck
  • Top Hat

At the end of the voting, whichever token wins will get an update in the new version of the board game. The new version will hit stores in Fall 2022 in the U.S. and globally in Spring 2023. So what you waiting for? Get to voting!
