About the game
What you do in a play session
Wir spielen Einkaufen is the shopping game that makes kids feel like real shoppers without the pressure of paying the bill! Each player starts with a list of four items and a wallet holding up to eight coins. Instead of a complex board, you roll a die (between 2 and 4) and follow simple paths between home, the bank, and four different stores: butcher, bakery, greengrocery, and delicatessen. The goal? Buy everything on your list and return home before the others. The "Pick‑up and Deliver" mechanic requires route planning, while the "Roll / Spin and Move" adds a dose of unpredictability that keeps everyone on their toes. The game teaches numbers, price comparison, and money management in a playful way: each product costs between 1 and 3 coins, and when bought, the remaining items shift positions, causing prices to rise or fall. It’s simple, quick (30 min), and perfect for children learning to count, compare prices, and make decisions. If you’re looking for a game that’s educational, fun, and gives your family a chance to practice basic financial skills, Wir spielen Einkaufen is the way to go.
