Mall Madness is a shopping themed board game released by Milton Bradley (later versions are titled as Electronic Mall Madness).

[edit] History

The original game was released in 1988, and an electronic talking version was sold starting in 1990.

[edit] Gameplay

The game takes place on a board representing a two-story mall. Players receive money to shop for 6-10 items on their shopping lists. At the start of each turn, an electronic voice announces a clearance at one store and sales at two others, players can use these sales to their advantage, since it takes up a turn to get to the ATM.

At random intervals, a player may be given a clearance or a sale at a store that does not currently have one. Other times, a player may have to pay an additional fee for the item.

Sometimes, the game will refuse a sale, or will refuse to dispense more cash. Occasionally, the game will randomly instruct players to move to the bank, the arcade, or to various stores.
