The Set for Six Players
Elements: 5 white playing tokens, 10 white queue cards, 10 product cards in 5 colors (2 in each color), 5 product supplies cards in 5 colors (1 in each color), 1 white player's aid card, 1 shopping list card.
Before starting the game, decide if you wish to play an easy, medium or difficult variant and, depending on your choice, place all product supplies cards numbered "1", "2" or "3" in the box. Replace the thrown-out cards with product supplies cards numbered "4". In the product delivery phase, reveal three delivery cards. Before drawing, add the card numbered "6" to the pack of Purchasing Lists Cards.
Place two additional product cards of each color on the board with delivery trucks.
All rules of the basic version of "Queue" game also apply to the Six Players variant. All modifications listed below can also be used in the Six Players game.
Trybuna Ludu (The People's Tribune)
Elements: 10 Trybuna Ludu cards.
The authorities have taken appropriate measures to get rid of profiteering and to guarantee all "citizens" (players) equal access to consumer goods. You can read about the authorities' initiatives and other important social events in "Trybuna Ludu".
Before starting the game, divide the deck of Trybuna Ludu cards into two piles according to the "I" and "II" markings. Shuffle each part separately and place the unrevealed cards, those marked with "II" and then "I", on the Board with the delivery trucks, on the square with a broken line.
In each round, after the queuing up phase and before the merchandise delivery phase, "the manager" reveals one Trybuna Ludu card and reads its content aloud. Unless indicated otherwise on the card, the described event takes place immediately. After the card has been read, it has to be placed facing up beside the board. Players can look through used Trybuna Ludu cards.
The pack of Trybuna Ludu cards can be played with for two weeks. On the second consecutive Saturday, all Trybuna Ludu cards should be shuffled and a new pile of cards to be picked from should be created.
Liquor Store
Note: this expansion is available for adults only!
Elements: 8 vodka cards.
A liquor store was opened in the housing estate. In order to undertake activities aimed at limiting its negative social effects, selling alcohol was subjected to certain restrictions. Liquor store goods are rationed, sold solely to adults and only after 1.00 pm.
Before starting the game, take out two vodka cards from the box, picking two cards more than there are players participating in the game (four cards when there are two players, five when there are three players etc.). Then, place them beside the board along the edge, behind the hanging frame – this will be the liquor store.
While taking one's place in the queues (also when preparing for the game), the players may visit the liquor store and put one of their pawns on a vodka card. Since the store will be opened at 1 PM, the players collect their pawns with cards only in the PCT phase.
Vodka Cards Have Two Applications
First: A vodka card can be used as a "substitute currency" in the outdoor market. A player who exchanges products at the outdoor market can use a vodka card instead of a product card.
Hence, it is possible in the outdoor market to exchange one product card and one vodka card for one product card from the outdoor market; to exchange two vodka cards for one product card or to exchange one vodka card for one product card with a market trader. The vodka cards used for exchange at the outdoor market have to be immediately placed in the liquor store beside the board. They will be eligible for sale in the next round.
Second: A vodka card can be used to exchange places with a speculator. Instead of a queue card, the player may play a vodka card and place his/her playing token in the same queue on a speculator square that will move to the player's former square. A speculator must never leave the queue in which he/she is standing. The vodka cards handed over to a speculator should be placed immediately in the liquor store beside the board.
The possibility of using a vodka card instead of a queue card enables each of the players who play a vodka card to have additional turn for playing a queue card. After passing or playing the last queue card from his/her hand, the player cannot play the vodka card again up to the end of that particular phase.
At the end of the game, the vodka cards are not treated as products and they are not used to settle draws.
New Queue Cards
Elements: 24 queue cards in 6 colors (4 in each color).
Before starting the game, shuffle both the old and new queue cards together. Then, put the first 4 uncovered cards on the designated spot in the center of the board (you can have a discreet look at them beforehand). From among the 10 remaining cards make a pile of unrevealed cards to be picked from. On Saturday all "used" queue cards and those which were put aside in the center of the board should be sorted according to colors, shuffled and the 4 unrevealed cards should be put aside again (after having a look at them first), and the remaining cards should be placed at the bottom of the pile of cards to be picked from.
Card Descriptions
"A Shoddy Item" – This card enables the player to put the product selected in a shop on top of any pile of product cards on the delivery trucks board. You can, for instance, move "tinned ham" from a food store onto a kiosk delivery truck. Then, at the next delivery to the kiosk, "the tinned ham" treated in a delivery card as one product from the kiosk, will go not to a food store but to a kiosk. "The Shoddy Item" which will be for sale again as a full value product card. The card cannot be used on the products at the outdoor market. The card is playable also during "Closed for Stocktaking".
"This Lady Was Standing Behind Me" – This card enables the player to take any of his/her pawns off the board (also the one standing in front of the outdoor market) and to put it behind any of the player's own pawns in the same or different queue. For instance, having two pawns somewhere in the middle of a queue and holding the "Mother Carrying Small Child" and the "This Lady Was Standing Behind Me" cards, one can jump with one of the pawns to the front of the queue in one turn while in the next, playing "This Lady Was Standing Behind Me" card, move onto two first places in front of the store's entrance.
"Artificial Crowd" – This card enables the player to move a speculator to the first place of any of the queues. The card is also playable when the presence of the Workers and Peasants' Inspection (WPI) was detected.
"Hard Elbows" – Playing this card enables the player to take one card from the top of his/her pile of cards to be picked from. Moreover, after playing it, the player has an additional, fourth turn of queue jumping. The card is also playable after the card "Afternoon Sale" has been revealed. In this case, the player will have five turns of queue jumping. The number of the turns can be multiplied, however, by using a vodka card to exchange places with a speculator. The card is invalid if there are no more cards in the pile of the cards to be picked from.
Note: After the end of the game, show the remaining players the queue cards which were not in your piles of cards to be picked from. It is a good moment to blame the random nature of "Queue" for losing.
Range of Possibilities
Elements: 10 Range of Possibilities cards (1 each in each of the colors + 5 Trybuna Ludu cards).
The Range of Possibilities cards enable the player to create Queue and Trybuna Ludu cards any way he/she wishes. The basic pack of Queue and Trybuna Ludu cards may be supplemented by the player's own cards.
Rulings from the Complaints and Suggestions Book
The official rulebook answers these player questions as follows. The players' names have been omitted.
Question: "There is total chaos in my game box and the game designers are making the confusion greater by introducing a sixth player. How can I know which elements are to be added to the Six Players Game?!"
Answer: First of all, to put things in order in the box, one should use a plastic container. Secondly, to play the game with the six players variant, one should use the product delivery cards marked "4", shopping list card marked "6" and 10 additional product cards (two in each color). In the remaining variants, the above mentioned cards should be put into the box and bound with a rubber band. White pawns and cards may be selected by the players also while playing the game with a smaller number of participants.
Question: "The Trybuna Ludu cards lack clarity. One does not always know what to do after reading a card."
Answer: First of all, a customer should pay attention to what he/she is reading because all information is provided on the card. Apart from this, some cards do not entail any effects, for instance, the "Raid at the Outdoor Market" card in the situation when there is only one card of each particular kind at the outdoor market.
Question: "This is a scandal! The State Holiday of 22 July was approaching and the delivery truck driver refused to deliver more products to the store in which I was waiting!"
Answer: The driver will be reprimanded. After drawing the Trybuna Ludu Card "22 July" the queue card "Increased Supply" is valid in each shop.
Question: "There are no products in the liquor store and the shop personnel pretend they do not know when the supplies will be coming in and they react rudely."
Answer: The shop personnel may not know when the product will be delivered since it depends on the situation on the board. It may turn out that the vodka cards purchased on the first day will be kept by players at home and it will not be possible to buy them till the end of the game. In addition the customer was making a scene.
Question: "Some elements in my game are missing! I will file a complaint to the manager!"
Answer: The customer should first check under the table and in a vacuum cleaner before they groundlessly and impertinently begin accusing the personnel! And when something is missing, let them write to the game design staff!
