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). All cards must be shuffled. One Deal card is then set aside (face down) by sliding it under the edge of 'Yard Sale' and under the 'Deal' sign. All players are placed on the 'Start' space with $3,500 each: two $1,000 bills, two $500, and five $100. According to the rules, two players must be chosen to act as the Banker and the Loan Record Officer. A player is then picked to start and game play proceeds to the left.Game Play: Players may take out a loan at any time during the game in increments of $1,000. The Loan Record Officer records all financial transactions. Interest rules on outstanding loads each time you land on 'Pay Day' are 10%. Paying off your loans in increments other than $1,000 or on any day other than pay day is against the rules.
Players are advanced by the number that appears on the die and game board spaces are treated as a calendar. Follow instructions given for each space landed on. Players must take the number of Mail cards as indicated on the mailbox flag and instructions of payment are followed.
Skipping over Payday is against the rules. All players must pay or receive their dues when passing this point. A $3,5000 monthly salary is given, loans or interest on loans must be paid, bills collected throughout the month are paid, and player is placed on Start. All unused Deal cards that player still has are returned to the pile.
Card Rules:
- Deal/Buyer - Move your token to a Deal or Found a Buyer space of your choice and follow instructions.
- Deal Cards - When you land on a Deal space, the top Deal card is taken. You may purchase the item immediately and take our a loan if needed. There is no limit or rule on the number of cards you can have. You may also only buy a Deal and when token lands on 'Found a Buyer' you may cash in the card for the increased value. More than one Deal being made at one time is against the rules.
- Pay a Neighbor - choose a player of your choice to pay the amount on the card. If needed, a load can be issued.
- Mad Money - choose a player of your choice to charge the amount shown on the card. That player may take out a load if needed.
- Charity - The amount of money shown on card is placed on the game board spot marked 'Jackpot.'
- Radio Phone-in Contest - First player to roll a 3 on the die, starting with the person who landed there first, receives $1,000 from the bank.
- Sweepstakes - Collect $5,000 from the bank.
- Happy Birthday - All player give the gift of $100 to the birthday boy/girl.
- Charity Concert, Super Ski Sunday, Shopping Spree or Food for the Month - Place amount show on card onto the Jackpot space in the corner of the Payday board.
- Found a Buyer - A Deal card can be traded in to the bank for the 'Value' amount on the card. All profit is pocketed.
- Yard Sale - Player must pay the bank $100 time the number they rolled and the Deal card under this spot is given away. Replace the yard sale deal card as needed.
- Walk for Charity - Rules are all players except the one who landed on this place roll die and place $100 times the number rolled onto the Jackpot corner.
- Lottery - The bank automatically places $1,000 in the lottery and anyone, in turn, may place $100 more until no one wants to add more money. Placing money in the lottery is optional. Players playing the lottery then choose a number 1-6 and the person who landed on the Lottery space rolls the die. Winner takes the money.
- Jackpot - Rolling a 6 on any regular turn wins that player the Jackpot.

What happens when your out and someone is in and the get to take money? Do you lose money if your out?
What happens when your out and someone is in and the get to take money? Do you lose money if your out?
What if three players finishes off the game early and the fourth player has still needs to play a month. I know that other players can play on Lottery but Can the they play from the beginning again by paying double amount of money to roll simple dice so as to reduces the chances of fourth player winning/losing?
How do you refill the money in the jackpot space (after someone has rolled a six and taking all the money)?
How many 100's, 599's, 1,000's, 5,000's, and 10,000's bills are there in the game?
Do you show other players your money event cards etc, or you can hide them away?
Nowhere in the rules does the game actually specify how much the jackpot is supposed to be.
We love the game but need help with a dispute. If you draw 2 cards from the mail space and they both say move to deal or buyer space then can you move to a deal space with the first card and the buyer on the second card and sell it on the same turn since they are from the same mail space and same turn? The rules say the mail cards have to be played immediately.
What happens with your leftover deal cards?
Do you get anything for passing payday first?
Went to a hotel and got the 1975 edition. They don't have 1000 bills
We purchased this game in 2017 but have lost the directions. Could you send us a new set? If so I will send my address. Thanks a lot!!
I have a payday game set from the early 90s it is in excellent condition except that I lost the rule book. I have not used it in over 15 years. I invited some friends over and we had a fight over the Bonus. Could you send me the rule on Bonus
I have a pay day game from when I was a kid so its from the 80's. Game board, mail, deals, etc are all different. The rules and concept are the same, but I cant find the actual rules anywhere. I need to know for example, given that the money denominations are 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500, how much money should someone start out with? This is a major factor since it would set the precedence for needing loans etc. Can anyone help me?
when your finished with your last month and another player lands on lottery,can you join the lottery?
I found the game fairly confusing.. But, it's my first time playing.
Payday Game Free
I bought 'Payday' from a second hand store.all the pieces were with the game, but no instructions and most of the loan papers are gone. How can I get another set of both?
When playing pay day after a player retires from the game and another player lands on daylights savings does the player that is retired from the game still collect the 325 for payday? And do they participate in town election?
just been teaching and playing with my girls aged 8 and 10..we play it 12 times (over a period of days) making a whole year! the girls LOVE IT !!!! great game.. helps them add up, take away, learn values..
I'm confused on where to put the money. Does it only go to the Jackpot if the instructions say so and the rest always goes to the bank?
I think there suppost to produce a new version of Catcheroo in the future.. i think the idea is great and the slogan (the game of switch and snatch) is just perfect for it..
great game - reminds me of the old game CATCHEROO - the game of switch and snatch, also gret fun
Always loved this game! Be sure to check out 'Big Payday' as it is the best version of the game.
This game is FUN.!! The children I babysit for absolutley LOVE it.!! Thanks for inventing such a fun game.
