<br>Looked at <u>SHOPPING</u> (© 1973 John Ladell Co., Inc., Canton Miss.)
Each player gets a shopping list and enough "Purchase
cards" to by half of them; each item takes one purchase
card. Players must earn extra purchase cards - by landing
on lucky spaces. The board shows various stores and <s>the</s>
each item can be bought in several stores. If a player
passes the police station (which is also on the board with
various other spaces) without a "meter validation" he suf-
fers some kind of a penalty. (Fairly rough idea.)
<br>Looked at <u>O-SHLEMIEL!</u> It is a regular deck of cards but
each card also has a letter. A number of games are given -
none very original. One - I remember - was a <u>RUMMY</u>
type with sequences of letter and also words allowed as
melds. It was expensive - $5 a deck - and John suggested my getting
a review copy.
