Monopoly maker leaving Rhode Island after a century, more than 500 jobs at risk

Hasbro, the company behind popular games including Monopoly, Dungeons and Dragons, Play-Doh, and Transformers, is preparing for a major transition. This could affect hundreds of its employees, who face job losses just as the holiday season peaks. Hasbro has issued notices affecting approximately 587 employees at its longtime headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, as it prepares to relocate its operations to Boston. However, the numbers are not yet confirmed. The affected employees have been offered continued employment at its new Boston location, with work scheduled to begin on Jan. 4, 2027.
