Our new $18.99 monopoly is depending on me. Here at Hasbro's old, sprawling industrial plant for board games just outside Springfield, Mass., I'm spending awinter day as a make-believe employee. My mission: to see why this company's so good to work for George Plimpton puts on the overalls. In a factory that produces such classics as Scrabble, Operation, and Mousetrap—combining printing, plastic molding, case making, and bookbinding in ahighly mechanized dance—I'm merely a cog. At Cell No. 7 we're in the last stage of making a Monopoly set, the most successful board game of all time. I'm at the back end of the assembly line, doing quality control. On a conveyor belt that mercilessly keeps advancing to my left comes open Monopoly box after Monopoly box. My dual task—every 1.81 seconds, give or take an instant—is to place a plastic bag of dice and game tokens in a tray, while also ensuring that each box includes a container of 12 hotels and 32 houses, instructions, and a shrink-wrapped stack of money.
