The iconic Iron on the Monopoly board has officially run out of steam, as fans of the game have voted to replace it with a cat.

To celebrate the addition of the newest member, gamemakers Hasbro have organised a London tour for the Monopoly cat.

The catโ€™s arrival follows a month of voting on Facebook earlier this year where fans from 185 countries took part in the contest. Other contenders included a toy robot, a guitar, a helicopter and a diamond ring.

โ€œWe know that cat lovers around the world will be happy to welcome the new cat token into the Monopoly game,โ€ said Eric Nyman, senior vice president and global brand leader for Hasbro Gaming. โ€œWhile weโ€™re a bit sad to see the iron go, the cat token is a fantastic choice by the fans and we have no doubt it will become just as iconic as the original tokens.โ€
