This is a great game to play with children as it can help then learn about adding and subtracting. The goal of the game is to pick a card with an item you are going to buy then walk to the correct shop by rolling the dice. You get additional money evey time you pass the bank. When at the shop the child needs to count out the correct amount of money and put the item into their shopping basket. The player who buys all six items first is the winner. The game does not take too long to play, aproximately 30 minutes for 4 players. The money peaces are made of plastic and look like real coins. The box suggests age rating of five and over but I found that both my five and six year old had alot of trouble giving the right amount of coins and needed a lot of support. However they both had great fun playing the game.
