My tolerance for game themes is fairly great, but some games push the envelope too far. Here are my picks for the most offensive board games and card games ever published. (All of the links will take you to the game's entry at BoardGameGeek.com except for Ghettopoly, which will take you to this site's resources for that game.)
This 2004 release rates at the top of the list because it tries to simulate the fun of pointing a gun at your own head and pulling the trigger. Nothing more needs to be said.
The publishers boast that this game is "the rudest card game you've ever played," and it would be hard to argue the point. Players create phrases using 120 words "of profane, blasphemous, violent, sexual or scatalogical nature."
It's just what it sounds like: Players are pimps, trying to earn cash via their prostitutes. The prostitutes can go to jail, fail health exams, and switch pimps.
Quantity, not quality, is important here. Produce the most movies, manage your "stable" of stars the best, and you win the game. Avoiding pesky details like scripts will help.
Punches, kicks, knives, humiliation and more are used by players as they try to steal each others' lunch money.
Definitely the best-known game on this list, Ghettopoly won national infamy in late 2003 when the NAACP criticized the game and Hasbro sued its makers. Playing pieces for this parody of Monopoly include a machine gun, a marijuana leaf and a 40-ounce bottle of beer.
This memory game is assuredly not for children. The goal is to match the left and right breasts of 48 women.
The offensive nature of this board game can be summed up in two words: recreational surgery. Players try to do as much surgery on their patients as possible without sending them to the morgue.
This card game of apartment management allows players to bomb their own buildings.
Players each control four criminals and win by putting all four in prison, on Death Row, or in the electric chair. You can use "liberal" cards to free other players' criminals -- hoping that they will commit violent crimes.
