Top Shop (also known as Board Game Top Shop) is one of the best titles in the A1/SuperLite line-up of budget titles (along with Battle Hunter) and was developed by "KID": Kindle, Imagine, Develop. It's sometimes hard to believe that developers/publishers of adult titles like Can Can Bunny can make kid-friendly games for the whole family (to be fair, they have a pretty comprehensive, diverse track record). Also titled "Tenant Wars" or "Tenant Wars Alpha".
The game is a board game of sorts where your goal is to be a Mall Mogul and have the best business in the mall, which can lead to driving the competition bankrupt in the process. To do this, you must set up many different stores, buy, sell, order various goods, expand your business, build your assets, and survive game-changing events! You can move different spaces on several maps and plot your course, and up to six people can play. The game features nearly a dozen playable characters and over fourty types of stores you can open up, which have their own items and look upon expansion. There are also a lot of different events and points you can use for various things such as passing "Go" (the bank). The game takes place over months and even years and it's a pleasant title that doesn't take long to learn. It's not perfect, but there's quite a bit of fun to be had for such a cheap title. It's decent to play alone and great with some friends.
This video goes over roughly the first fifteen minutes so you can get a feel for the flow of the game. I love how the "friendly" Meower is mean to the "modern teenager" Maiko. Enjoy.
@Vetuyasha I swear this is a good group game! and the songs and backgrounds are pretty cool too!

@teh2Dgamer
truly creative, this game rivals and eclipses many party games. Beneath the coat of candy colors and catchy tunes, lies a strategy game with endless replay value. How does the AI fare in versus matches? - though this game is delicious when played with friends. The first Mall allows you to open shop anywhere with the funds at your disposal however, as the game progresses, and the Malls increase in capacity, and if you follow earlier strategies, you will find yourself overstretched...
