SEATTLE: If you have ever wanted to rampage through a game of Monopoly like a dinosaur, you're in luck. The popular US board game is changing out three of its playing tokens, swapping in a penguin, T-Rex and rubber ducky in for the thimble, wheelbarrow and boot, Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based toymaker Hasbro Inc said Friday. The move is part of a broader campaign to update the board game based in part on votes by consumers during a promotional period earlier this year. The updated version of the game will be released in August, according to the company. Rounding out the new lineup will be a cat token, added to the game in 2013 as a replacement for the flatiron.
