8 Most Inappropriate Kids Games

4 – The Sinking of the Titanic,

2

  • Y’know what makes for a fun night in for the whole family? Trying to escape the most iconic sinking ship in history.
  • Yes “The sinking of the Titanic” was being exploited way before Leo announced himself as king of the world. This game hails from the glorious 1970s where if it existed you could make a board game out of it. The goal of the game is to make it off the ship but that’s not all.
  • After that you need travel to several islands for food to survive until you’re rescued. Because everyone knows that the Icey Atlantic is filled with tropical islands, duh. To put this in perspective it’s like if in 20 years someone brings out “Escape the Twin Towers”.

3 – Bombs over England,

2

  • This pearl from WW2 Germany wanted to make kids have fun with the idea of bombing people in London.
  • Made in 1940, this game had players pretending to be the Luftwaffe and allowed them to bomb the fuck out of cities like Liverpool and Newcastle. I’m sure it worked a lot like the Nazi version of “Risk”.
  • Which probably would have been a lot of fun to play if it wasn’t based on the actual war going on. But hey you can’t beat the Nazi’s when it comes to propaganda, even in board games.

2 – Four little Negros,

1

  • Not to be outdone by the Nazi’s just yet, the Allies also have their own dark corner of problematic historical board games.
  • Enter “Four little N*****R Boys”. A game where you get to shoot black people… yeah this target shooting game from 1950 is just that. Shoot the four or sometimes five black kids and you win the game…asshole.
  • Of course this was perfectly acceptable for people 60 years ago to do… White people that is. “Kevin you go have fun and shoot those black boys eating watermelon”…

1 – Jews Out!,

1

  • The Nazis were great at indoctrinating children and well…it’s board game about the holocaust what else do you need to know?
  • Okay well “Juden Rous!” or translated “Jews Out!” involved players moving little plastic Jews out of the city to exile points. First player to get 6 Jews out wins the Holocaust. Pretty simple right.
  • Considering what actually happened this a pretty tame version, at least the exile points weren’t gas chambers.
