It is August 31, 1940. For several weeks now, an air battle between Great Britain and the Third Reich has been in progress. This period will go down in history as the Battle of Britain. A message arrives at the operations room of the 11 Fighter Group command that numerous formations of German aircraft are flying in the direction of the capital. Yesterday, a Polish 303 Squadron pilot out on a training flight shot down a German bomber. Consequently, the RAF command, which has practically no more reserves, has decided to send this Polish unit into combat. Eager to fight, the pilots have been waiting impatiently for this order. Right now they are heading for a confrontation with the German air force. At last they have an opportunity to encounter the Luftwaffe on an equal footing and avenge the defeat suffered by Poland a year ago.
“303” is a simple war board game for two. One of the players is the commander of the allied forces defending Great Britain while the other commands the attacking German Luftwaffe. Each player has access to six different kinds of planes and conducts aerial duels by using special dice.
The mission of the Third Reich’s air force is to bomb London. RAF’s mission is to shoot down the bomber. Will the pilots of the 303 Squadron stop the air raid and save the capital?
The box contains:
– a game board based on the RAF Fighter Command Headquarters plotting table
– 12 double-sided tokens with planes
– 3 shooting dice
– 1 fuel consumption indicator
– 12 shot markers
– an instructions manual and historical introduction

Get in a queue with your family in front of a store and experience a rush of genuine emotions!
The board game Kolejka (a.k.a. Queue) tells a story of everyday life in Poland at the tail-end of the Communist era. The players' task appears to be simple: They have to send their family members out to various stores on the game board to buy all the items on their shopping list. The problem is, however, that the shelves in the five neighborhood stores are empty.
The players line up their pawns in front of the shops without knowing which shop will have a delivery. Tension mounts as the product delivery cards are uncovered and it turns out that there will be enough product cards only for the lucky few standing closest to the door of a store. Since everyone wants to be first, the queue starts to push up against the door. To get ahead, the people in the queue use a range of queuing cards, such as "Mother carrying small child", "This is not your place, sir", or "Under-the-counter goods". But they have to watch out for "Closed for stocktaking", "Delivery error", and for the black pawns – the speculators – standing in the queue. Only those players who make the best use of the queuing cards in their hand will come home with full shopping bags.
On the product cards are photos of sixty original objects from the Communist era. The merchandise includes Relaks shoes, Przemysławka eau de cologne, and Popularna tea, as well as other commodities that were once in scarce supply. The neighborhood also has an outdoor market but the prices there are steep – unless, of course, you manage to strike a deal with the market trader. In this realistic game you really have to be savvy to get the goods.
Are you brave enough to confront the everyday life of the 1980s?
