About this board game

Shop ‘N Time is a real-time, app-assisted card game for 2–8 players that plays in about 15 minutes. Set in a magical store filled with products from different years, it challenges you to make quick decisions and find the best bargains.

In the basic Price Target game mode, every player receives the same budget and a hand of seven cards. Choose one card to purchase, then pass the remaining cards to another player. Continue selecting and passing until you have at least three cards and decide that their total price is still within your budget.

When everyone has finished passing, players scan the items they purchased. The winner is the player who comes closest to spending the budget without going over, turning every selection into a careful balance between speed, value, and risk.

  • Real-time play for quick, simultaneous decisions
  • An app-assisted system for checking purchased items
  • Four different games to explore
  • Two playing modes: real-time and strategic

The store’s unusual stock can span decades: perhaps you will find aftershave from 1949, or a fancy fly swatter from 2014. With simple rules and a focus on rapid choices, Shop ‘N Time offers a compact game experience built around observation, hand management, and timing.

Whether you are trying to reach the target price exactly or exploring one of the other included games, the title supports varied play across its two modes. Gather your cards, keep an eye on the value of your purchases, and decide when your shopping trip has gone far enough.
