"Find the food on your shopping list and be the first to fill your trolley" Winner "Best Toy" Petit Filous and Right Start Award Basically a form of shopping pelmanism, where you remember the tiles that other players rejected. Each player takes a trolley and a shopping list and the cards are spread out face-down on the table. Players turn over the cards in turn.
