Toys and Games Reviews of Pay Day Board Game (Editions may vary)
Customer Review: Classic game from my childhood I can play with my children...
Summary: 5 Stars
I would play this game all the time while I was growing up. One difference is there is no 'loan/bank' board with the pegs. This was handy if you played for several months. In fact I played this with my two children last night for 6 months and we ran out of 10,000 bills. It is fine if you play for 3 or 4 months. Only other difference is some of the squares are not the same but none the less we enjoy it. We have played it 10 times in just the 3 days we have had it so far. It has been a great addition to our family games. You can't go wrong if you want a fast paced easy game to play with your children. Some may say 'Children shouldn't experience receiving bills etc (as in the mail cards)' but unfortunately bills is a fact of life. Can't shelter your children from that fact forever.
Customer Review: 30th Anniversary Edition Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
Be advised, this 30th anniversary edition only has 4 game pawns versus the 6 the older versions have - so only 4 can play. This edition also lacks the "mad money" cards - a favorite of ours. The game PayDay is fun and educational but this edition is disappointing - I don't know why they changed a good thing....
We found the "original" version on ebay (used) and it has 6 pawns and "mad money" cards - my daughter enjoys the original version over this one. But these minor changes might not be important to you - it's personal preference. The overall goal of the game and how it is played is not different between the two version we own.
Customer Review: Life Lessons
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is enjoyed by the whole family. Our children are 3-10 (the 3 year old plays on a team with someone else). This game has made our 8&10 year old realize that money needs to be budgeted. They watch as there money gets taken away for their bills, vacations and unexpected repairs. It has started many converastions about the importance of saving money and how important it is to budget for emergencies. We have enjoyed watching them use their real life allowance more wisely since playing this game. What a fun lesson and game all in one.Customer Review: A hit with the kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
We started playing boardgames with our kids (ages 6 and 8) by playing Monopoly. I could tell that they liked it, but at times they lost interest with that game. I decided to try playing Pay Day with them. They enjoyed this game a lot more. There were some decisions they could make besides to buy or not to buy. It also has an easier ending to understand versus telling them the game is over because everyone went "bankrupt." Overall, I think this is a much better game to start teaching children finances rather than Monopoly.Customer Review: So much fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
Playing this game brings back so many memories! Its a great, classic board game that takes just the right length of time to play. We just bought it recently to play with our kids (5 and 7). Its a good balance between skill and chance and levels the playing field between kids of different ages. Right up there with the Game of Life in my books! Game of Life 50th Anniversary
