Lemonade Stall is a board game released in 2010 for 2–4 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Tim Kerby and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Simulation, and Commodity Speculation.
Each player is running their own lemonade stall. Your goal is to try and run the stall as profitably as possible. The game involves buying supplies to make the lemonade (cups, sugar, lemons and ice) and then selling the lemonade (hopefully for a profit). The amount of lemonade that can be sold and the amount of profit is dependent on the weather and also on the prices charged by your competitors (the other players). While you might sell lots of lemonade by setting a low price you won’t be making much profit! The game takes place over a week (from Monday to Sunday). The person who is able to run their stall the most efficiently is likely to end the game with the most money and win the game! Not everything will always go to plan though as the weather can change, events (both good and bad) occur and special benefits can be chosen which will influence what you might do each day.
Lemonade Stall supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Lemonade Stall is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Lemonade Stall for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Lemonade Stall has a complexity rating of 2.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
