10 Controversial Board Games That Got BANNED

1. Juden Raus

Oof.

I mean, if you didn’t know about this game sorry for bringing it to your attention, but it’s one of the most infamous, and heartless cash-ins on human suffering in not just board gaming but in most mediums.

The title of the game, published in 1936, translated to Jews Out, and tasked players with collecting Jewish people and taking them to collection points, expelling them from the city.

What makes it all arguably worse was this wasn’t propaganda from the then Nazi government, but made by a private company to profit from the anti-semitism of the time.

The SS actually condemned the game, the game was too offensive FOR NAZIS. So yeah.

That’s, that’s something humans made… for children.

It’s long since banned, but copies have been kept by numerous historical societies, as it has come to represent, what the international board game studies associations call “a terrifying example of the banality of evil”.

Sorry.
