About the game
Go back to your childhood days and set up your own lemonade stand! In Lemonade Stand, you and up to three friends will compete to see who makes the most money in a busy summer week. Each day is a new round, starting with the weather forecast, which can influence the number of customers and the price people are willing to pay. You have to be smart: decide your lemonade's price (5, 10, or 15 cents), whether it's worth investing in advertising signs, and how much lemonade to stock. All of this is done blindly, along with the other players! After everyone reveals their choices, we find out how the weather actually turned out and who did best. The winner is the one with the most money in their pocket at the end of the seven days, ready to spend it all on fireworks and whatever else their imagination desires. It's a fast-paced game with simple rules that effectively simulates the dynamics of risk and profit. Perfect for a light and fun game session, teaching a bit about making economic decisions and dealing with luck. Get ready for the lemonade battle and see who becomes the king of the block!
