Board Game Top Shop is a game of property management similar to Monopoly. The game takes place in eight malls of varying sizes, each with its own layout. The object is to reach the required asset level, or to drive a certain number of opponents into bankruptcy. Success depends on both strategy and luck, as many outcomes are determined by "pencil rolls" (the game's version of dice) and drawing event cards. There are 11 characters from which to choose and up to six competitors can play at once. During each turn, players can open of 44 different stores, accept deliveries, or expand the size their existing businesses.
