Because of this short fall, the company substituted the metal tokens for different colorful shaped wooden pieces or cylinders at the time. By 1936, Parker Brothers could not keep metal tokens needed for the game in supply. The game of Monopoly quickly became increasingly popular. Parker Brothers may have just followed suit. Since early players needed to supply their own game tokens, they had used charms. Before Parker Brothers had employed their own molds for tokens, the company may have utilized charms. It has been suggested by game historians these game tokens were actually charms intended for bracelets. Curiously, a few of the earliest tokens have been discovered to consist of a small hole. These tiny game pieces were made of metal. The first Monopoly game tokens, produced by Parker Brothers in 1935, were the thimble, ship, shoe, hat, cannon, and iron. The common and small household item of the thimble would have made an ideal game piece and may have influenced the future game makers to include it in the game’s tokens. This option may provide the basis for some of the selections Parker Brothers later featured. In the book, Timeless Toys by Tim Walsh, Walsh shares that the directions for Darrow’s game simply state, “ See that each player is provided with some token.” It seems any small object a player could find around the house would suffice. Over the years, these game tokens found inside a Monopoly box have included many different styles.Ĭharles Darrow, designer of Monopoly and who originally sold homemade games himself in 1933, decided to leave the choice of token entirely up to the player. For any Monopoly player, one of the first decisions of the game is to choose which token is going to represent him while moving around the board. Monopoly is one of the best selling board games of all time, and according to the Hasbro website (owner of Parker Brothers Game Company who first widely produced the game), it is sold in over 103 countries and published in 41 different languages.
