ABSTRACT:
A board game is described which simulates the acquiring of employment in various jobs, the receiving of paychecks, the paying of bills, and the receiving or paying of benefit checks associated with the status of being employed or unemployed. Players move their playing pieces along the game board path according to the roll of dice. According to the rules, a player can acquire employment by landing on a company space, rolling the dice and receiving the appropriate job credit card. Certain other spaces on the path have instructions for paying bills, receiving Welfare and Unemployment benefit checks, and paying Welfare and Unemployment benefit checks. A timing piece moves around the circumference of the board with each roll of the players' dice. Each circumnavigation of the board by the timing piece results in a payday. When payday occurs, employed players received paychecks corresponding to the jobs they currently hold. Players on the instruction spaces must pay the bank the corresponding bill, Welfare or Unemployment benefit check or must receive the appropriate Welfare or Unemployment benefit check.
