Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Just in time for the Democratic National Convention, Purple Pawn has learned of Politically Correct, The Game. While not the only board game to deal with controversial political issues as the publisher claims, it certainly ranks on our list of insensitive games currently in print. DIP Enterprise claims that Politically Correct “pokes fun at Democrats as well as Republicans,” yet also states that “the game deals with debatable political topics, i.e. illegal immigration, Islamic terrorism, global warming and many other subjects that the liberal mainstream media ignores or reports with a bias.”
Pick one of six politically incorrect characters to play as – an illegal Mexican gardener, an Islamic terrorist, a pedophile Catholic priest, Farmer John, or a black pregnant teenage girl. Throughout the course of the game, try to offend the least amount of people, collect the most cash, and stay in one piece by avoiding the suicide bomber and you win!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
There’s a big, fat, glow-in-the-dark line between political correctness and common decency.
After reading the character descriptions and the cards that “poke fun” (read: blatantly insult) at well-known figures, I can safely say that this board game has crossed that line.
