Pools spel leert over communisme

AMSTERDAM - Het Poolse Nationale Herdenkingsinstituut heeft een spel uitgebracht dat op Monopoly lijkt, waarbij het niet de bedoeling is om hotels te bouwen, maar je als speler zo vlug mogelijk basisgoederen moet inzamelen voordat de schappen leeg zijn.

Het spel - 'Kolejka' of 'Rij' - moet jonge Polen bijbrengen hoe moeilijk het bestaan van hun ouders en grootouders onder het communisme was.
Spelers moeten basisgoederen kopen, terwijl voedselvoorraden opraken voor zij bij de kassa zijn aangekomen. Heb je een bed nodig, dan krijg je stoelen aangeboden.



Iemand die het laatste paar schoenen in een winkel probeert te bemachtigen, verliest het van iemand met de juiste connecties.
Het spel gaat op 5 februari in de verkoop.

The Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) is to release an educational board game called “Queue”, aimed at ‘raising awareness’ among the young of what everyday life in communist Poland was like.

Each player gets a list of ten goods which they must buy. They learn, however, that getting desired products, such as shoes, toilet paper, coffee or furniture, is not an easy task - just as it was in the dark days of communism.

Players have to queue for everything they buy, but could find, as they get closer to the front of the line, that the shop has run out of stock, or another player had obtained priority to buy a certain product.

The game, to be released in February, reflected everyday life for millions of Poles before 1989.

Access to goods is limited and game cards either help or make it more difficult for players to purchase them.

“The game not only makes players understand shopping in Poland under communism,” Karol Madaj from the Institute of National Remembrance told Polish Radio.

“Players learn what it feels like to queue for hours, to lose their turn because someone jumped the queue, or to arrive too late at a shop only to learn that certain products sold out,” he added.

The game will be accompanied by documentaries about shopping in communist Poland and a booklet about the communist command economy. As many as 3,000 copies of the game will be released but more could follow.

Earlier, IPN released a war board game called “303” about the Battle of Britain and the Polish 303 Polish Fighter Squadron and it is currently working on a game called “Conspiracy” about Polish underground organizations during World War II. (mg/pg)

Alleen is dit dan triester aangezien het gewoon serieus is bedoelt.
