Goal of the Game
The goal of the game is to acquire as many deficit goods as possible.
Game Setup
Set up the board in the place where the game will be played.
Shuffle the question cards and place them in four face-down stacks in the middle of the board.
Place the goods tokens in a pile next to the board.
Each player receives one banknote of each denomination: 1000, 500, 200, 100 and 50.
The remaining banknotes form the bank (one player may be designated as the banker).
Each player chooses a pawn and places it on the start field.
Gameplay
The oldest player begins the game. The other players take their turns in clockwise order.
Roll the die and move your pawn the indicated number of fields.
When your pawn lands on a question field, the player sitting to your left draws one card from that category.
- If the card drawn is "Towar spod lady" (Black-market goods), your turn ends and an auction takes place (see "Black-market goods" below).
- If the card drawn is a question card, the player reads you the question and three answers.
- If you give the correct answer, you receive the amount shown on the card (500, 1000 or 2000 zł).
- If your answer is not correct, nothing happens, and the turn passes to the next player.
If you want to answer new and interesting questions, use the Trefl Games app. You will find many additional questions and special cards there.
If a special card appears in the app, the player performs the action described on it.
Question Fields
There are five categories of question fields:
- Any category – you may choose a card from any category.
- Science and technology (Nauka i technika).
- Everyday life (Życie codzienne).
- Politics and events (Polityka i wydarzenia).
- Culture and entertainment (Kultura i rozrywka).
Special Fields
If a pawn stops on a special field, perform the action described below.
- Start / PKO – once again you did not have enough for the first one – you receive 500 zł from the bank.
- Black-market goods (Towar spod lady) – deficit goods were thrown into the shop – they will be obtained by whoever pays the most. All players take part in an auction (see "Black-market goods" below).
- Kolektura – a tax on margins. Pay 50 zł into the bank and roll the die. Depending on the number of pips you receive:
- 1–2: nothing;
- 3: 100 zł;
- 4: 200 zł;
- 5: 500 zł;
- 6: 2000 zł – well done! You hit the sixth!
- If you do not pay the 50 zł for the coupon, nothing happens.
- Militia checkpoint (Posterunek milicji) – you are detained for questioning – you miss your next turn. You may also roll the die and avoid the penalty by paying an appropriate compensation. The result of the roll is multiplied by 100, and the money is paid into the bank. (Example: the die shows 6 – you must pay 600 zł.)
- 200% of the norm – as a work leader, you receive an additional bonus: 500 zł.
- 300% of the norm – as a rationalisation leader, you receive an additional bonus: 1000 zł.
- Envelope 100 zł – to get anywhere you have to grease palms. You may move your pawn 1 to 4 fields, paying 100 zł for each field.
- Envelope 50 zł – to get anywhere you have to grease palms. You may move your pawn 1 to 4 fields, paying 50 zł for each field.
Black-market Goods
If any player lands on the "Black-market goods" (Towar spod lady) field, or the "Towar spod lady" card is drawn, all players take part in an auction for the goods drawn from the pile of tokens.
- The player whose turn it was when the auction started has the first right to offer an amount for the item put up for auction.
- The other players may raise the bid in any order.
- The player who offers the highest amount wins the item.
To make the game more exciting, you may set a time limit for the auction. In that case, the item is won by the player who, at the moment the set time runs out, has offered the highest amount.
The dedicated timer can be found in the Trefl Games mobile app.
End of the Game
The game ends at the moment the last of the deficit goods is purchased by a player.
The winner is the owner of the largest number of goods.
In the event of a tie, the winner is the owner of the largest pool of money.
