Modern Monopoly includes name-brand tokens

NEW YORK, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- When the new edition of Hasbro's Monopoly hits U.S. stores, the popular board game will offer eight new tokens -- five based on real-life brands.

Joining the name brand pieces in the reinvention of Monopoly, which has sold over 250 million units in its 71-year history, will be a laptop computer, a jet and a Labradoodle to replace the game's miniature Scottish terrier.

Here's the story.

The game goes on sale today. I checked it out and the artic;es refer to the "hip Labradoodle taking the place of the Scottish Terrior". They have changed trhe game to appeal to the younger generation.
