Meet Me at the Mall Board Game, 1990
Add to SetSummary
By 1990, "power shopping" at the mall had become a major form of entertainment for many Americans. This game invited preteen girls to shop till they dropped. The player who bought the most stuff won; any cash left at game's end didn't count. Lucky players got more money by landing at the cash machine the same time as the mom or dad game pieces.
