Geniaal: Communistisch Monopoly
Kom er maar eens op: een typisch kapitalistisch spel omtoveren tot een communistisch spel. Een Pools onderwijsinstituut is het treffend gelukt. Het spel heet Queue (Wachtrij) en in plaats van straten moeten de spelers brood, wc-papier en andere levensbehoeften aanschaffen. Maar er zijn nog wat verschillen:
Rather than try to force other players into bankruptcy, though, Queue will encourage them to line up in an orderly fashion to get into state-owned shops. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it as building a property empire, does it?
Still, the game's creator Karol Madaj believes it will be a valuable educational tool - and fun too... probably. 'The game not only makes players understand shopping in Poland under communism. It also teaches them what queueing is like - something people seem to have forgotten,' he said.
En in plaats van de gebruikelijke kanskaarten:
Instead of Chance and Community Chest, players will draw wild cards that can be positive - getting them sent to the front of the queue because of a Communist Party connection - or negative, such as seeing a shop closed down for 'decadence'.
