From the manufacturer


The Classic Game of Making and Spending Money Month by Month.

Pay Day

The Classic Version

Pay Day, launched in 1975, is great for social interaction and a game that parents and children can play on a relatively even level. Simple and quick, a two lap game takes as little as 15 minutes.

Learn how to get from a Payday to the end of the month. The game board resembles a calendar month, and each space has events like a buying “deal” or receiving “mail” (includes bills, insurance offers etc.) The object of the game is to have the most money at the end of the game, which is over after as many months as the players decide on.

Players may start or add to their savings only on Pay Day. Players may withdraw all or part of their savings only on Pay Day (if the player wishes to withdraw at another time). A player receives 10% interest on the balance in his/her savings account every time he lands on Pay Day.

A loan may be taken out or increased at any time in increments. A player must pay 20% interest on his/her outstanding loan balance every time they land on Pay Day. Loans may only be paid off on Pay Day.

The Object

The object is to be the player who has the most cash and savings at the end of the game after playing one or more months.The length of the game is decided by the players.(We recommend a minimum of two months). A three months game will take about one hour to play.

The Play

One player is selected to go first. Roll the die and move the token the number of days indicated, starting with Monday the 1st and moving through the calendar, week by week, to 'Pay Day.' Follow the instructions for the day on which your token lands. Play then passes to the player on the left.

Earning A Salary

Each player has the opportunity to make deals on property and earn money. Every player is paid the same salary at the end of each month, and then must pay off all outstanding bills. Players can even take out a loan if necessary.

What's in the box

  • Gameboard, 4 tokens, 17 deal cards, 35 mail cards, money, die, loan record, pad and rules.

    Love this game
    This game is fantastic! I loved it as a kid and this version is pretty much as I remembered it from the 1970's. My 7 year old nephew enjoyed it thoroughly, as did my 9 year old niece. It helped to keep them away from the video games for a stretch. Very pleased.
