Pay Day is a board game originally made by Parker Brothers (now a subsidiary of Hasbro) in 1975. It was invented by Paul J. Gruen of West Newbury, Massachusetts, USA, one of the era's top board game designers. It was Gruen's most successful game, outselling Monopoly in its first production year. This article is based on the 1975-era rules. For rules on the revised 1994-present Pay Day, try the following link. The object of the game is to have the most money at the end of the game. The length of the game is predetermined by the players. The game board is in the form of a calendar month, with each day (space) having a different event resulting when a player lands on that space. A typical game is three or six months (although any number can be played). The game is played with game board, one die, six playing pieces, play money (denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500), 16 "Deal" cards, 79 "Mail" cards, and a "Savings and Loan Calculator" (or a "Savings and Loan" pad). Each player starts with $325 (or one $100 bill, two $50's, three $20's, four $10's, and five $5's). One player is selected to go first. Players roll the die and advances their playing piece from 1 to 6 spaces as
