The Monopoly iron token is to be relegated to history and replaced with a cat, after an international vote by fans.
Maker Hasbro said the cat received 31% of a Facebook vote, trumping the robot, guitar, helicopter and diamond ring.
The iron took just 8% of the vote after it was neck and neck for elimination with the wheelbarrow and boot, meaning production of the token will cease.
The latest changes mark the first time fans have had a say on which token to add and which to replace.
Hasbro said people from more than 120 countries voted in the contest, sparked by chatter on Facebook where the game has more than 10 million fans.
The US firm will begin to replace the iron with the cat token on production lines immediately, with the updated game expected in stores later this year.
Eric Nyman, senior vice-president of Hasbro, said: "Cat lovers around the world will be happy to welcome the new cat token.
"While we'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."
The other tokens remain the car, Scottie dog, thimble, top hat and battleship.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
