In "It's 5pm", the players are salaryworkers commuting to and from work, and they like to relax on their commute: bars, movies, malls, and board game cafes! The game takes place on a city grid that the players expand as the game progresses. Players will spend money on their leisure time pursuits, and earn more money at work. There is only so much time in the day, and the players will need to determine how long to work each day and how much time can be devoted to other interests. The winner will be the player who has earned the most happiness by Friday!
