Emojis and hashtags could be the new Monopoly game tokens
2017-01-10
the internet gets to vote on the next
generation of Monopoly tokens and none
of the classic game pieces are safe
the little Scottie dog could be replaced
by an emoji face the shoe could get
booted by a hashtag and the thimble
could be snuffed out by a cellphone
Hasbro the maker of the Monopoly game
opened up voting on the tokens for the
month of January letting you choose from
50 icons you can vote to keep some of
the classics like the top hat and the
wheelbarrow but also pick from new ones
like a Tran asaurus rex or fuzzy bunny
slippers out of the 50 choices there's
plenty of techy tokens too like a TV
computer camera and a crazy 1980s
massive brick cell phone you'll cringe
over the emoji choices there's a thumbs
up emoji a winking face a smiley face a
kissy face and crying with laughter
emoji face you can even pick a face that
looks like a rich uncle Pennybags go to
vote Monopoly calm to pick the eight
you'd like to see in the next edition
leaving this decision up to the Internet
could spell disaster for the classic
game or it might just be the best thing
since sliced bread I'm Bridget Carey you
can land on all the hottest tech news by
going directly to cnn.com do not pass go
do not collect $200
