Poland: Join the queue for new game

Poland's state-run National Remembrance Institute has created a new game called Kolejka - which means queue or line - to help young Poles understand life under communism.

Players have to buy a number of goods, but a lack of deliveries, shortages and the connections that competitors have to communist authorities turn the task into a string of frustrations.

"We want to show young people and remind the older ones what hard times these were and what mechanisms were at play," said Karol Madaj, the game's creator.
