10 Controversial Board Games That Got BANNED

6. Killer/Assassin

If you’ve ever been to a university in an area that isn’t actually plagued by violent crime, you might have heard of Assassin, a sort of LARP, roleplay-style game where students are part of an assassins society, are assigned another student as a target and then have to stalk them and airquotes execute them with a squirt gun or a banana or something, whimsical lols for nerds.

But the game actually has official rules, once officially released as Killer by Steve Jackson games, the people who made Munchkin.

However, the game has seen a number of American universities, especially in the wake of actual campus shootings, ban the game.

Universities in Nebraska, Texas, New Orleans have all forbidden students from playing the game, in some cases bringing disciplinary action against people who took the game too far by [checks notes] leaving fake bombs around!

Don’t do that, for f*** sake.
