FUCK YOU HASBRO.

The results are in and the thimble is out.

Ahead of Toy Fair, Monopoly-owner Hasbro has revealed that the iconic thimble token will be removed from the game.

As part of the brand's "Monopoly Token Madness" campaign, more than 4 million people voted to decide which eight tokens should be part of the next iteration of the game. Folks were given more than 50 options, including old favorites like the shoe, top hat and Scottie dog and new designs like a T-Rex, rubber duck and an emoji.


Hasbro has yet to name which token will be replacing the thimble, but it will unveil all eight tokens on March 19, a day it dubs World Monopoly Day. Updated versions of the game will be available in August.

It's no surprise that Hasbro is seeking to update the 84-year-old game. When it comes to toys, the game segment has seen tremendous sales growth in the last year, up 20 percent from 2015 to 2016, according to the NPD Group.

This isn't the first time that Hasbro has held a contest to create a new edition of the game. In 2013, the company held a "Save Your Token" vote to determine which classic token would be replaced. The iron was ditched and a cat charm took its place.

When will people decipher the code of history? It can not be changed by switching the symbols.

It's all a marketing scheme.

What, the Monopoly "Classic" edition with the Thimble?

We must march on Washington. Or wherever Hasbro is located.

We will go directly to Jail. We will not pass Go.

In 1959, my new friend Jim Benson taught me how to play Monopoly, how to use his jigsaw to cut wood, how to use his Erector Set to screw meaningless little girders together, how to avoid his barking dachsund, and how to watch him practice his clarinet. Do any private eyes out there want to help me find my old friends?

Ha! Dang! That is kind of funny. Another word comes to mind too, but we will leave that alone.

Can we at least take a chance and stop at the motels on Baltic Ave to check out the community chest

The thimble was the best piece...thanks Trump

Just checked the 6-foot-high stack of board games in my house. I have Monopoly Jr. and Anti-Monopoly, but Monopoly itself is missing. I think my kid took it a couple of years ago to where he lives with the girlfriend. I wonder whether all those old games are worth as much as Boardwalk now.

Those places rent by the hour - i'd keep a close eye on my wallet if I was you.

Last time I touched a monopoly board game was when I kept my college drug stash there.
