Communism meets monopoly in unlikely new board game
A Communist version of the Monopoly board game called Queue in which players have to…queue, has gone on sale in Poland.
Players of the Communist version get a list of 10 essential items like bread and toilet paper and have to travel around the board joining queues to get into state owned shops.
And instead of Chance and Community Chest, players can draw wild cards that get them sent to the front because of a Communist Party connection or see a shop closed down for ‘decadence’.
The game – created by the country’s National Remembrance Institute – is designed to show schoolchildren what life was like under the old Soviet era rule.
And it not only makes players understand shopping in Poland under communism.
The game’s creator Karol Madaj told the Austrian Times: “This also teaches them what queueing is like, something most people seem to have forgotten.”
