Orchard Toys - Pop to the Shops

Pop to the Shops is a fun and educational board game where players race to collect items from different shops using plastic money. Players take turns travelling around the board, visiting shops, and using their money to buy a variety of items. The winner is the first person to collect 6 items on their board.

This game is designed for older Orchard Toys fans, offering longer and more varied gameplay than traditional matching games. As children play, they'll learn important life skills like handling money, giving change, and practising good manners, as players are encouraged to say œplease and œthank you when purchasing items. The game also boosts creativity, allowing children to take on the roles of shopkeeper and banker. For even more play value, children can add their own tills and purses to the game!
