The objective of Payday Board Game is pretty simple.  Be the player with the most cash at the end of the game.  The new payday board game comes with Payday game board, payday money, 48 mail cards, 24 deal cards, 6 tokens, 1 die and a loan record pad.

The number of months that the game will last is pre-decided by the players.  Though it is recommended that a player plays for a minimum of two months.  A two month game with 4 players takes about one hour and a six month game will take about two hours.  

One player acts as a banker who is responsible for all the transactions.  The banker begins by giving each player $3500 in the denomination of two $1000 bills, two $500 and five $100.  Another player acts as a loan record keeper who keeps track on the loan record pad of all loan transactions.

A player may take loan anytime from the bank.  Though loans are to be paid in increments of $1000 and you will be charged 10% of your outstanding loan balance everytime you land on "PayDay".  A player can pay off part or all of his loan only on 'Payday'.  There are also mail cards, deal cards, mail spaces, deal spaces and other board spaces to watch out for.

When all players complete the agreed upon number of months, each player tallies his or her cash total subtracting any outstanding loans.  The amount left is your networth.  The player with the highest networth wins.  

This game is definitely a fun board game to play and a good way to spend time with your family and friends.
