10 Controversial Board Games That Got BANNED

7. The Sinking of the Titanic Game

Nope. Turns out nope.

It seems like an interesting enough idea for a game, you roll dice and move through the ship, which tilts further and further on this rotating section of the board with every 1 or 6 rolled, rescuing passengers, getting food and drink all before the ship eventually sinks, with the rescue ship showing up on the other side.

It’s got some stuff going on! Unfortunately that stuff also, just… lots of people died, and the game received enough backlash to be pulled by the publisher before it was eventually re-released as Abandon Ship colon any similarities to a real-life ship are completely imaginary, honest, please stop being cross.
