    A piece of board is placed on two stones to serve as a counter. Then shelves are arranged with other pieces of board. Old jam pots are then filled various substances as mud, sand, turf mould, etc to represent jam, sugar, tea etc. "Chaineys" are used for money and bits of paper for paper-money. One player does shopkeeper and the others as customers come to buy things.
