Shocking games: a new board game to act as criminals.

Not long time ago, classic board games were the favourites games to play with friends or family: Bingo, Monopoly, the game of goose, Risk, quiz games, clue, connect four. All funny and amusing. Now it seems really that times are changed if we look at the latest releases of the board games industry: a British company has recently launched a new board game called “The chaps from Amsterdam", in which players have to make more money possible selling drugs in the streets of Amsterdam. In this new board game each player must run his own illegal drug business and avoid to getting caught by the police. Controversies have not been slow to arrive after the UK National Drug Prevention Alliance condemned this shocking board game that could promote unhealthy, and risky behaviours among young people. The Chaps From Amsterdam was created Hard Impact Board Games, it costs around 40 pounds and can be purchased only online. Personally I think that this board game is really bad for everyone, especially for teenagers and I would suggest to play classic board games like those in the video below, because they’re healthy, safe, educational and funny.

Clever games for clever people
