Home Game
Whitman Publishing produced a board game of Pay Cards in 1969. The game included play money, a vinyl card mat with pockets to hold the game cards, and 4 game decks: three 20-card decks for main round play (one each with Red, Orange & Green backs) and a 12-card Blue-backed deck for the Jackpot Round. Gameplay was simplified in that all three main rounds were played in the "Five Card Draw" format, and all players participated in the Jackpot Round to try and find the chosen card. Two different versions of the game were released, both with identical boxes and near-identical contents. The only difference in the latter release version is the inclusion of Wild Cards in the Orange and Green card decks (one in each, replacing one card from the earlier release's decks); however, the game rules in this latter version do not allow for a "five of a kind" payoff.
A board game of Super Pay Cards was published in 1981 and plugged on-air (given to losing contestants), but there has been no evidence it was ever mass-released.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or game:
“As I came home through the woods with my string of fish, trailing my pole, it being now quite dark, I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path, and felt a strange thrill of savage delight, and was strongly tempted to seize and devour him raw; not that I was hungry then, except for that wildness which he represented.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A Stander-by is often a better judge of the game than those that play.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
