UK Police Seize War on Terror Board Game
They said -- and it's almost to stupid to believe -- that:
the balaclava "could be used to conceal someone's identity or could be used in the course of a criminal act".
Don't they realize that balaclavas are for sale everywhere in the UK? Or that scarves, hoods, handkerchiefs, and dark glasses could also be used to conceal someone's identity?
The game sounds like it could be fun, though:
Each player starts as an empire filled with good intentions and a determination to liberate the world from terrorists and from each other.
Then the reality of world politics kicks and terrorist states emerge.
Andrew said: "The terrorists can win and quite often do and it's global anarchy. It sums up the randomness of geo-politics pretty well."
In their cardboard version of realpolitik George Bush's "Axis of Evil" is reduced to a spinner in the middle of the board, which determines which player is designated a terrorist state.
That person then has to wear a balaclava (included in the box set) with the word "Evil" stitched on to it.

I can see it now..."Hello police? Some man just came in here and violated my carved smoking indian at the smoke shop on dunsmore off of broadway. What did he look like? I didnt get a good look but he was an evil, evil man wearing a balaclava with the word evil on it."
