IN FRONT OF THE ELEVATORS
The queue has never been so ruthless and fun.
Everyone wants to get on that elevator, but no one wants to politely wait their turn. Get ready to manage a chaotic queue where respect for the elderly and family dynamics overturn every established rule.
It's a perfect board game for those who love fast strategy and sudden twists. This Japanese retro-flavored card game transforms waiting at the department store into a tactical battle for the last available spot, offering laughter and cross-revenge.
The true magic lies in the continuous overtaking system. Each family member has a secret priority that disrupts the queue, allowing the entry order to be overturned just as the doors are about to open.
It's the ideal title for those looking for quick challenges, pocket-sized competitive malice, and rules that can be explained in two minutes but require a sharp mind to master them thoroughly.

The Art of Cutting the Line
Exploit the ruthless hierarchy to reach the top before everyone else.
There's no room for politeness when the department store's heavy doors open. Each character you decide to line up has a specific weight, creating an ecosystem of favoritism that changes the order with every single play.
Choosing which line to influence is a crucial step. You can protect your group in a relatively safe queue, or infiltrate the opponents' line at the last second to snatch the most valuable spots just before the dreaded closing time.
In the end, victory goes to whoever best understood the intentions of others, placing their family members exactly where needed, transforming a trivial public inconvenience into a brilliant strategic victory.
