to want instructions to pop to the shops game!!!!

[clankypanky]

No I know Im not really but I just bought this from the charity shop and it has everything but the instructions, the children really want to play it...has anyone got the instructions?

bumping for you. If not write to the makers and ask for a copy.

It's pretty simple.

OK, put the board together, put all the yellow backed cards in the spaces in the relevant shops. Put the white grocery cards upside down in the box lid. Each player is a shopkeeper in one shop (eg veg lady etc). They have the counter in question (green one etc) to move around board. Each player gets (from memory) 2 x 50p, 2 x 20p, 1 x 10p.

Each player picks a white card (eg doughnuts 20p from the bakery.) They then move by shaking dice towards the bakery (obv pick another if they are baker). When they pass thru centre square bank gives them 20p. when they get to bakery they give baker 20p and collect yellow (or some are blue actually) doughnut card. Put white one to one side. Go straight back to yr shop and then pick another card.

each turn is just one shake of dice, min 2 shakes to get to a shop. If you don't have enough money (eg you have already bought strawberries and then pick loo roll and no-one has bought from you yet) then you pick again. First player to buy six things wins.

Will try to find box to check money but I think that is right. It's a really good game.

Thank you so much!!! The kids made a version up by themselves but it will be much better now! Good old Mumsnet has the answer to everything!

Yay! I remembered the money right!
Forgot to say that you get 20p for going thru the middle square (like passing Go in Monopoly).

DD wants to play it now She always has to be the newsagent lady...

We played it today..thank you, I am a childminder and the kids loved it...all the ages I look after enjoyed it and didnt find it too hard and didnt fight once!! Thanks again x
