Contents: double-sided gameboard, 4 game pawns, locking ATM box

with swipe card, 10-$1 bills, 8 quarters, 15 dimes, 12 nickels, 20 pennies,
40 shopping cards, 2 money cubes, 1 number cube, money tray

Object of the Game: Be the first player to collect $2.00 worth of

shopping cards.

Level 1: Adding Money

Set-up:

• Remove all the shopping cards with the white background. Put
these away until you are ready to play the Level 2 game. Place the
rest of the cards in a pile face down in the center of the board.

• Open the ATM using the secret swipe card.

• Sort and divide the money into the tray starting with quarters on
the top left followed by the dimes,
nickels and pennies in that order. All
players earn money from the ATM by
rolling the money cubes. No bills are
needed for this game.

How to Play the Game:

• Each player rolls one money cube. The player with the highest coin
value begins.

• On your turn, roll all the cubes. Add up the amounts on the 2
money cubes and take that amount of money from the ATM. Move
ahead the number of spaces on the number cube and follow the
directions on the game board.

If you land on a “Buy” more than one item space, draw the next
shopping card from the pile. If you have enough money you may
buy this item and put the money back in the ATM. If you have
money left over, draw the next card and see if you can buy this card
also. If you do not have enough money your turn is over.

If you land on “2 for 1 coupon”, draw two cards from the pile. You
may buy two items for the price of the one with the higher value.

When landing on an ATM space, roll the money cubes and take that
amount of money from the ATM.

• Play until 1 player has collected shopping cards worth a total of
$2.00 or more.

Level 2: Making Change

Use all of the cards for this level of play.

Set-up:

Place the cards in a draw pile face up in the center of the play area.

Now give 2-$1 dollar bills, 2 quarters, 3 dimes, 3 nickels and 5 pennies
from the money tray to each player.

Use the blue money cube and the green number cube for this game.
