Brief Description: The game highlights the early 20th century consumerism and the increase in purchasing household goods such as appliances, clothing and foodstuffs directly focusing on women as the primary household buyers. Department stores such as the one in the background of the cover emerged offering a variety of products, fashion and personal items marketed to express identity and status.  The board game's objective is to score as many points as possible to reach home.
