Players play as a miner, a teacher, a shipworker, an engineer, a shopkeeper, or a company executive. The objective of the game is to not become unemployed. The game board is a circular track with Pay As You Lose and Survival cards placed in two separate decks in the center.
Players take turns rolling dice and moving a Monetarist Fiend playing piece around the board, landing on either a job space or a PAYL space. If it lands on a job space, players pay tax to the Cosmetic Economic Policies Fund according to each occupation provided in a table in the rules booklet. If it lands on a job space that is the player's own, then he/she is paid by the other players. If a player lands on a PAYL space, he/she takes a PAYL card and performs the actions on the card.
