A communist version of the ultimate capitalist game - Monopoly - has been made in Poland Instead of buying streets, houses and hotels, players will get a list of 10 essential items like bread and loo 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 - called Queue and created by the country's Nationa Remembrance Institute - is designed to show schoolchildren what life was like under the old Soviet era"
The game not only makes players understand shopping in Poland under communism," said the game's creator it also teaches them what queueing is like - something people seem to have forgotten.
It’s already here! General Electric (the scum company), GM/UAW/Obama, Citicorp, JP Morgan Chase, and on and on - all Obama companies!
Fantastic. Too bad I can’t read Polish.
Let Obama supply each according to his needs. The GOP needs to get out of the way!
And its the only monopoly the MSM would be thrilled to support!
Fantastic idea! How sad that kids forget what life was like under communism.
The kids never knew. It’s been twenty years..
Im sure that if its successful, an English version will be forthcoming.....
Over here it could be called “Liberal Vision”
Both versions should be mandatory in American government schools.
But of course, that would be heresy.
Naa, Utopia.
