Kolejka

Board game, "Kolejka" harkens back to everyday life in Poland at the end of communism.

Now "Queue" (“Kolejka”) is available in 6 languages: Polish, Russian, English, German, Spanish and Japanese. This is a response of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) to the enormous interest in the game, called a "history lesson in a box", and the demand for it in many countries.

During the promotion of the new edition of the game Dr. Łukasz Kamiński, the President of IPN spoke about the educational mission of the Institute. He mentioned publishing educational materials for history teachers, launching educational websites and creating historical board games. Dr. Kamiński explained that the idea of the "Queue" is to show the mechanisms of communist economics of deficiency. "It works" – he said.

Good luck standing in line for hours trying to buy toilet paper, if by the time you get to the sales counter there is any left. Otherwise, go to the forest and gather up leaves.

Socialism at its finest. Wolne rynki lepsze!
