Many people are unaware of the fact that Pay day was the most
successful game ever created by Gruen. In fact, in the year of its
initial release, Payday outsold Monopoly. This alone goes a long way
in showing just how popular Payday has been over the years.
Many changes have been made to the game over the years. Although
they are noticeable, the changes have not done entirely too much to
the game. In other words, the basic objective is still the same.
Some of the changes include:
1. In the past, the starting money was $325 for each player. This
has increased to $3,500 in the most recent version of the game. It
makes sense for this to change since the economy has done the same
over the past 30 years or so.
2. In the early version of the game, it was only set up for four
players. This has been increased to six players today, and most feel
that this is much better. After all, the more the merrier when it
comes to a great game such as Payday.
3. Deal and mail cards have changed in quantity. There were 79 mail
cards and 16 deal cards early on. The modern version of the game has
cut this down to 48 mail cards and 24 deal cards. This does not have
a huge effect on the game, but it is something that has changed in
Payday history.
Although the modern version of the game is more up to date, believe
it or not, there are still people who play with their original board
game. If you are nostalgic, there is nothing wrong with using the
original. In fact, many people love doing this because it brings
back good childhood memories for them.
Payday is one of the most popular board games of all time. It offers
fun and excitement, a chance to learn about money, and much more.
Because of the ability to learn about the uses of money, many
parents play with their children and use the game as a learning
tool.
