Description
(From the box description):
Shop Till You Drop is the game where a roll of the die tells you what to drop in and what to take out. But mind the jittery trolley!
Load up too much and it'll collapse! But taking things out can be just as tricky. Carefully does it or Yikes! You'll send your shopping flying! One false move and you're out!

Quotes (from this video)
- Praetor was going for really cheap. This is like an old-school Euro that again, I never got a chance to play. Kind of from my era of of Euro gaming.
- This was one that has always evaded me, but I remember Rado raving about it many, many years ago.
- Wispwood, which is one of those kind of puzzly um, you know, pattern building style games with different things going on.
- And um, to be honest, I've got so many games here to play and to talk about that um, I'm going to be tied up for quite some time.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Drafting — And the draft system is is very straightforward. You just have the display of cards in the center um and in turn order you will pick them.
- contract fulfillment — There's also other cards you can collect with these contracts which might say, "Well, by the end of the game have four um clothing items or have, you know, five items worth 30% and you know, if you complete them, that's some bonus points. If you don't complete them, that's some negative points."
- Hand Management — So, you are basically representing the shopper and you are acquiring these different goods and trying to put them into one of these three different pots.
- Push Your Luck — If they ever go over their limits and cannot store them in any of those three pots, then um they are going to basically go bust and have to get rid of one of those one of these pots of goods that they can no longer store.
- Set Collection — Um and as you acquire more and more of these cards, you can constantly uh shift them around in these different pots to avoid um backing out of the round.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's just a really nice kind of switch your brain off, have a laugh, you know, maybe do a bit of bragging or try and dissuade or persuade people to opt in or opt out of certain rounds.
- So, it's it's really light-hearted, but it's actually really a really good time.
- You know, we do get a lot of rinse and repeat in the hobby space at the moment. This one feels distinct and unique.
- So, I do like the way this game forces you to play strategically.
- So, it really is this kind of cerebral puzzle and the way you acquire these cards is through a is through a passing draft system.
- It's got a great table presence, if not maybe a little bit sprawling. It takes up a lot of space.
- But I like games that feel distinct and feel unique.
- And if you can't cater to them and you can't give the birds what they want, they will go and you will no longer score them next round.
