Shopping Queen

score with knowledge and actions

Shopping Queen is a German TV Show, in which candidates have 500 Euros and four hours to assemble the perfect outfit.

You collect fashion points and will be crowned Shopping Queen with most points. Those points are acquired by assembling the completest possible outfit and by positive action evaluations from the other players. You choose one of two mottos, need not announce it but try to meet it by the end of the game.

The game board with fashion cards is prepared. In your turn you roll a die and advance the Guido marker – depending on the square that the turn ends on you either answer a knowledge question, resolve an action, choose one of those two options or go shopping immediately when you end up on Guido’s starting spot. A card that was drawn for your question or action can also be a Guido card; those cards are event cards and their effects are instantly resolved.

For correctly answered questions and well-implemented actions – half of your fellow players was happy with it – you may roll the die and go shopping accordingly. You roll the die, move your shopping vehicle to a shop and buy a fashion card there. You have the duration of eight rounds of Guido around the board, but can move to the runway earlier if you have acquired the must-haves of your motto. On the runway you present and defend your collection and score for it – you draw and keep score chips depending on the order of arrival on the runway and sum this chip, chips from other players and the points on your fashion cards.

A girls game if there ever was a girls game, featuring standard mechanisms and a nice question mix; if you like the show, you will like the game.
