As players expand their empires and come into conflict with each other, they eventually run out of useful tiles, which they can then turn over (the game calls this “going into decline.”) The pieces stay on the board and can still accrue points (but they can no longer be used to gain new territory). Once a player picks their characters, they get a set of tiles representing their troops during their turn they use the tiles to take over land on the board. For instance, if you pick up Wizards with a Flying power, you get bonus gold for occupying magic spaces (the Wizards feature), and you can send your troops anywhere on the board (the Flying feature). Each race is paired with a separately shuffled stack of powers, which modify what the troops of that race can do. The rules below are some of the exact directions that came in the original packaging.How it’s played: At the beginning of the game, every player gets to select a fantasy race to control from a shuffled stack. Please keep in mind that the official Payday rules and instructions could be different depending on the game version you have. The player with the most net cash in hand or lowest amount of debt wins the game.
You may still participate in the Lottery, Radio Phone-In Contest, Happy Birthday, or Walk for Charity, if one comes up. Upon finishing the last payday of the predetermined time period, player must wait until everyone finishes.
The Loan Record Officer records all financial transactions. Game Play: Players may take out a loan at any time during the game in increments of $1,000. A player is then picked to start and game play proceeds to the left. According to the rules, two players must be chosen to act as the Banker and the Loan Record Officer. All players are placed on the "Start" space with $3,500 each: two $1,000 bills, two $500, and five $100. One Deal card is then set aside (face down) by sliding it under the edge of "Yard Sale" and under the "Deal" sign. Perparation: To begin the game, all players need to decide for how many months the game will be played (usually 2-4 months works best lasting 1-2 hours).
