NY Times says the familiar tokens from the Monopoly board game are getting a modern — and, some might say, mercenary — makeover. An updated edition of the game will include tokens that are styled after name-brand products: a Toyota Prius hybrid car, an order of McDonald’s French fries, a New Balance running shoe, a cup of Starbucks coffee or a Motorola Razr cellphone. However, the 11 tokens in the classic version — including the battleship, cannon, iron, shoe, thimble and top hat — will remain unchanged. I used to play Monopoly as a kid, but did not like it very much because I felt it was all about the money, which is not one of my favourite things in life. # »
