About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for another dose of communist chaos and nostalgia with Kolejka: Ogonek! This expansion supercharges the base game Kolejka, adding the possibility for up to six players to join the most chaotic queue in 1980s Poland. Now, the daily drama takes on even grander proportions, with more people vying for the scarce goods available.
The game throws you back into the reality of the era, where queuing was an art and "Trybuna Ludu" (the official party newspaper) dictated the day's rules with news that could change everything on the board. Want to add an extra touch of realism? Vodka, that universal "substitute currency," returns with full force to stir up the black market and win over the speculators.
And if you think that's still not enough to test your nerves, the expansion introduces the "Range of Possibilities" cards. With them, creativity runs wild: you can create your own "Trybuna Ludu" events and queue cards, adding a personal and unpredictable touch to your games. Kolejka: Ogonek isn't just an expansion; it's an invitation to relive (or simulate!) the peculiarities of an era with more players and more confusion. Perfect for those who enjoy the theme and want to extend the base game experience with an extra touch of 'take that' and hand management.
