Online Vote to Determine New Monopoly Tokens
January 16, 2017 The public will again get to choose tokens for the popular board game Monopoly. Game maker Hasbro will release a new version of the classic property acquisition game called Token Madness. The catch this time is that the eight tokens that will be included in the new version will be chosen by worldwide vote; that vote, of course, will take place via the Internet.
