Toy maker Hasbro announced on Thursday that it was removing an iconic piece of its famous board game, Monopoly. Fans of the game voted to do away with the “thimble” playing piece. The Associated Press news service reports that Hasbro is trying to make the game more meaningful to a younger audience. A thimble is used in sewing. The metal device covers the top of a finger to protect it from the sewing needle. Proposed new game pieces include representations of an emoji, hashtag and rubber duck. The thimble had been in the game for over 80 years. But people went to a Hasbro website and voted to end its use. The thimble is not the first classic piece to be removed from the game. In 2013, a vote carried out on Facebook resulted in a representation of a cat replacing the iron playing piece. In the recent vote, fans of the game were asked to choose their eight favorite game pieces from a group that included the current eight, along with 56 possible new pieces. Those new pieces include a stopwatch, a fish, a television, a truck, a rabbit, a trumpet and a dinosaur. Hasbro will announce the eight winning game pieces in March. Those pieces will be available starting in August.
