Monopoly counters including the Scottie dog, the Top Hat and Race Car are facing the boot.

Makers Hasbro is threatening to phase out all 8 of the iconic metal pieces in favour of 50 possible replacements.

They include a smiley face emoji, a hashtag symbol, a mobile phone, a runner and a pair of sunglasses.

Players will be able to vote for their favourites.
