How to Play Smoothie Wars
Learn the rules of the tropical business battle. Master supply and demand, outwit your competitors, and build your smoothie empire!
The Objective
You're a smoothie seller on a tropical island. Summer has arrived, everyone is thirsty, and competition is fierce. Your goal is simple:
Finish the week with the most money!
5 Steps Per Turn
Each turn represents one day of the week, from Monday through Sunday
Roll the Die
Start each day by rolling the special die to determine weather and events that affect demand.

4 Island Locations
Choose wisely where to set up your smoothie stand each day
City
High demand during weekdays, busy professionals looking for quick refreshment
Residential
Steady neighborhood demand, families and locals enjoying their weekend
Beach
Peak demand on sunny days, tourists and sunbathers seeking tropical refreshment
National Park
Popular on weekends, hikers and nature lovers needing energy boosts
Key Rules to Remember
Master these rules and you'll be selling smoothies like a pro
Pricing Priority
Lower prices always sell first. If you and a competitor both go to the Beach, the cheaper smoothies will sell before expensive ones.
Demand Ceiling
Each location has a maximum demand. Once met, no more smoothies can be sold regardless of supply.
Production Costs
Every smoothie costs £1 to make, whether it sells or not. Unsold inventory means you lose money!
Loans Available
Borrow $100 once per game, but you must repay $130 from your final score. Use wisely!
Bankruptcy Rules
Fall below -$100 (without a loan) or below $0 (after taking a loan) and you're out of business!
Bluffing Encouraged
Verbal agreements mean nothing. Trash talk, mislead, and deceive to gain competitive advantage!
