Let's Play Shops

Designed right here in Melbourne by the developers of our awesome Pocket Money Game this set of cards is perfect for taking that next step when learning about MONEY! 

In Game 1 you are not relying upon luck to win... instead, you are developing your skills to make good decisions. The aim of the games is to purchase items and make change AND have the most amount of cash at the end of the game. REMEMBER these games are guides only... get creative... perhaps you will want to be the person who has spent the most!
