A journey across the money universe3 PHASES · 6 LEVELS · from Survival to Legacy
Everyone starts at START with just a salary. Each level is a wider orbit — the more passive income you build, the further you escape the pull of the paycheck.
Phase 1 · Survival & Stability (L1–L2)Get your cash flow positive, clear credit card debt and build an emergency fund
Phase 2 · Security & Freedom (L3–L4)Let income from assets pay your expenses instead of your salary — all the way to financial freedom (FIRE)
Phase 3 · Wealth & Legacy (L5–L6)Assets grow faster than you spend, you win your time back and pass your wealth on
👆 Tap a point on the orbits or a L1–L6 button to see that level’s conditions
“×” means times your total monthly expenses, e.g. expenses ฿20,000 → cash 3× = ฿60,000 · once you reach a level its VP stays, even if you drop later
Health insurance is optional at every level · it reduces the damage from illness cards (the first ฿1,500 at once, then every Payday)
Life Event cards come in 3 decks by phase · the higher you go, the bigger the events
How a turn works1 Payday = 1 month · 6 Paydays = 1 lap of the board
1
Roll the 9-sided dieMove that many spaces (after donating you may roll 2 dice for 3 turns)
2
Pass PAYDAY, get paidYou receive cash flow = total income − total expenses · landing on or passing PAYDAY lets you open a SIDE HUSTLE card (optional · up to 5 per game)
3
Do what the space saysASSET: open 1 of the decks · MARKET · LIFE EVENT · UNEXPECTED · baby · charity
4
DecideBuy · pass · or 🔨 offer the opportunity (a 60-second auction for everyone, the winning bid is yours) · trade stocks · borrow · pay off debt · check “What you can do this turn”, then press “End turn → pass”
5
End your turnHand over to the next player
Board & card decks32 spaces · 6 PAYDAYs · 9 card decks in the middle · stock prices above the board
PAYDAY
Collect your cash flow every time you pass or land here · landing on or passing it lets you open a SIDE HUSTLE card
ASSET OPPORTUNITY
A chance to buy an asset — open 1 of 3 decks: Small (down payment up to ฿100,000) · Medium (฿100,000–600,000) · Large (over ฿600,000) · you can also trade stocks
MARKET
Market prices change — whoever owns a matching asset can sell for a profit · some cards make stock prices jump or crash at once · you can trade stocks · No assets yet? Open an opportunity card instead
LIFE EVENT
Life events for your phase — good news and bad · open the card, tap “Accept the result”, the amount is worked out from your sheet (insurance · Upskill · career · children), then you pay/receive · the turn can’t end before that
UNEXPECTED / EXTRA
Unexpected costs · open the card and pay before your turn ends · you may sell or borrow first · not enough cash → the rest becomes credit card debt
SIDE HUSTLE
A side job when you land on or pass PAYDAY · drawn at random · up to 5 per game (the sheet shows which number it is) · uses 1 Time Token · pays from the next Payday
HAVING A BABY!
+1 child, higher expenses (max 3) · recorded automatically online
CHARITY
Only when you land here can you donate · give 10% of your income for Impact +20 and roll 2 dice for 3 turns
3 opportunity decks + stock marketStart small, then grow bigger
📈
Stocks & cryptoSmall money, bought in units, no debt · buy low, sell high
S
Small (down payment up to ฿100,000)Small businesses and affordable property — you can start investing early
M
Medium (down payment ฿100,000–600,000)Rental property, growing businesses and SMEs · higher cash flow
L
Large (down payment over ฿600,000)Big SMEs and Big Business · the highest cash flow, some give Impact points
Tip: use side hustles to save a down payment → buy small → sell for a profit via Market or to a friend → move up to medium and large
Stock market 📈6 tickers · prices move every time someone passes PAYDAY
What’s there
SPX500 (US stocks) · SET50 (Thai stocks, pays dividends) · GOLD · NVAI (tech, big swings) · BTC · ETH (crypto, very big swings, ETH pays staking)
When can I trade
On your own turn, when you land on ASSET or MARKET or pass PAYDAY · at the market price of that moment
Prices
Each has a lowest–highest range · prices tend to drift back to normal · buy cheap, sell dear · the screen shows how many units your cash can buy
On the Player Board
One table: ▲▼% = change since the last price move · the same row shows how many you hold, your cost, what you paid and your profit/loss in baht and % · 🟢 cheap (near the low) 🔴 expensive (near the high)
Cash, debt and UpskillQuestions new players ask
Cash
One wallet — your starting savings are your starting cash · level conditions look at cash (e.g. ≥ 3× expenses)
Paying debts
Every Payday the system takes the installment and lowers the balance · tap “Pay” to pay extra — the balance and monthly installment drop in proportion
Credit card debt
If you run out of cash, the shortfall becomes card debt: pay a minimum 10% of the balance each Payday plus 16% interest a year · paying only the minimum takes a very long time
🎓 Upskill
Pay ฿10,000 once · redraw an opportunity card once per turn · side hustles earn +10% · unlocks the “way out / opportunity” on several Life Event cards
🏦 Bank loans
Same fixed terms for everyone: 12% a year · pay 10% of the loan each Payday · borrow in ฿10,000 steps · total limit 5× monthly income (salary + side hustles + asset income) · repay any time, the payment shrinks with it
📢 Selling assets
Property and businesses sell when a Market card makes an offer (you get cash = price − loan) · stocks sell at the market price on your turn · in the paper-board ledger you may set a price for friends yourself
🔨 Auction
The player who opened an opportunity taps “🔨 Offer it”: everyone may bid for 60 s (from 10% of the down payment; a late bid adds 15 s). The highest bid wins and pays the bid to the player who opened it
Time Token · time is an asset24 hours a day = 6 Tokens (1 Token = 4 hours)
2
Sleep & restAlways locks 2 Tokens
2
Day jobUses 2 Tokens · you can quit from L3 (no salary, but you get the time back) · the button is on the career line of your income
1
Each side hustle uses 1 TokenQuit a side hustle to get the Token back · up to 5 side hustles per game
Goal: let assets do the work and win back all 6/6 of your time (needed for L5 and L6)
Who wins? VP (Victory Points)When time runs out, finish the lap, then count
Quick Ratio ÷ 2 (max 200) · Quick Ratio = passive income ÷ total expenses × 100
Impact VP
Good deeds from cards · charity +20 · legacy plan +50 · some big businesses
⏳ Slow play
One hourglass for every full 2 minutes in a single turn · −2 VP each at the end
