11 Horribly Offensive Board Games Of The Past

7. “Out With the Jews,” published by Günther & Co. in 1938.

This disturbing WWII-era board game is exactly what it sounds like. You can see a copy of it on display at the Wiener Library, a holocaust museum, in London.

8. “Adultery,” published by Diplomat Sales Co. in 1969 (yeah…).

The rules state: “The object of the game is to spend a good time with 2 different players of the opposite sex…Players spin and move their game piece around the board getting tokens worth two, three and five minutes…Game ends when each player had the chance to spend time in private with two different players.” Unclear whether sex is in fact sex or if it’s “sex.”

9. “Blacks & Whites,” published by Dynamic Design in 1970.

Even though the goal of this property-buying game is to “make changes” and “redistribute the wealth and power” and “shake up the status quo,” it’s still messed up. A few game rules:

– If you are a “white,” you start with a million dollars, are the status quo, and can buy property anywhere.

– If you are a “black,” you start with ten thousand dollars, are the minority, and can’t buy certain properties.
