Vote for the worst board game ever

You can only vote for one game.

A close call but 'The tooth Fairy Game' gets my vote.

Plastic crap that was as dull as hell to play, had cheap and nasty counters and the main component (a bed) broke on Boxing day.

Your votes please ladies

Mouse trap. Ful of plastic crap, never been played properly by my children, and I still don't know what you are supposed to do.

The Zodiac Game some Russell Grant tie-in product. Ye gods, it was terrible although it did actually manage to be so bad that it was kind of funny...

Hungry Hippos - the balls went everywhere and brought out a level of rage in dc never seen before

DEFINATLY that stupid fish game! We haven't even got it in our house but it annoys me!

The tune is loud and plinky,the fan is weak, the butterflies (?) don't fly up the spout (since when did a fish have a spout??) and when they do the net breaks as soon as you move it!!

Mousetrap. I have made my feelings plain on t'other thread. It is the devil's work and no good will come of it.
(and it made me swear in front of the children )

any Monopoly that is not the original one (like Oxford Monopoly, or World Cup Football Monopoly, I mean wtf??!!)

The Game of Life.

DC love it. I have never won, and it is because I determinedly choose university instead of business every time.

The children go straight into business, get yachts, jewellery, luxury cars etc.

I end up with no luxuries, about 11 plastic stick children balanced on top of one another in that poxy tiny plastic car, and I ALWAYS COME LAST!

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 03/10/2006 19:32

I second Fib Finder.

And Payday (poor man's Monopoly IMO), it drives me to distraction

StrawberryFULLMoonOWOWOWWWWWWW · 03/10/2006 19:36

maybe not a board game but we just bought guess 'where' as opposed to guess 'who'...load of shite!..biggest waste of ten quid ever!

HumphreyPETERCUSHINGCushion · 03/10/2006 19:36

Oh, and that one with the dressed-up bloke on the accompanying video; he yells things like "Stop, you snivelling worm!" randomly during the game.

Can't remember the name of the game - we used to play it at uni, and used the bloke on the video as a cue for whoever was throwing the dice to down their drink....

....which is probably why I can't remember the name of it!

HumphreyPETERCUSHINGCushion · 03/10/2006 19:39

DH informed me it is called 'Atmosfear'.

Great pun - not!

cheeryface · 03/10/2006 19:41

elefun, total crap

chestnutty · 03/10/2006 19:51

Sorry but I liked the penguin game and so did dds.
My vote goes to frustration. I could never pop the number required to finish.Hence the game's name, I suppose!
