Description

Supermarket Frenzy is a zipped up board game that requires whizzing around a supermarket at record speed purchasing items from a shopping list. Player’s select a token, roll a die and take off around the board using coupons and avoiding hazards. The player competes against him or herself or others on the central score board, to beat his or her previous time.  The game has completely unique graphics and fully functional recipe cards that can be used in “real life.”

     

How do Play

Click on start and choose a token. Next, roll the die by tapping the die in the top left corner of the screen. Player’s move around the board by tapping their finger in the direction they want to go and the token will jump the corresponding number of places. If the token lands on a space that has a needed grocery item, a sound will buzz and the item will be automatically crossed off the list. To look at the shopping list players simply click on the shopping list icon at the bottom of the screen. There are three fully functional recipes, one for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner that are associated with the shopping list. Every time the game is played the player will be dealt new recipe cards.

If a player “loses” their token or gets lost in the aisle, they simply double tap the screen to take them back to his or her current location.

As the token makes its way around the board, player’s land on coupons and roll random action cards that may add or take away time.

If an action card sends a player to the Bathroom, or Florist, Lost and Found, or Café, he or she will roll the die in the usual way to get out which takes them to the closest square. From there they move in the direction of his or her choice according to the numbers on the die (so re-entering the board is a two-step process).

 

How to Win

When all the ingredients are crossed off player’s endeavor to make it to checkout before items are removed by hazard cards. If players hear a “YAY” sound, all necessary ingredients have been collected. Fanfare plays when a player makes it to the check out.

Enjoy the game, beat yourself and other shoppers!
