Last week we asked our readers to nominate their favourite-ever board game. Among the zingers and the classics, there were a few that seemed somewhat less exciting. Including this one:
Swedish Parliament 2014
Yes, it's a real boardgame. No, I'm not making it up. Swedish Parliament 2014 was on sale at "Speil" in Essen last year. I didn't play it. It looked boring
Now, we’re being unfair. TheWitchfinderGenral has never played Swedish Parliament 2014. It could be a fascinating game of strategy and intrigue. But we’re guessing it isn’t.
We want your Swedish Parliament 2014s. We want to hear your entirely subjective views of the worst board games ever to blight a table, be they extremely well known (I never did care for Monopoly) or extremely unusual (see above).
Why are they so terrible? Is it the game mechanics, the crappy artwork, the extreme length of time taken to complete, or simply due to some half-remembered childhood gaming trauma?
Send your nominations and reasoning - and your pictures, if you’re ever dared to be photographed playing the damn thing - via GuardianWitness, and we’ll put the best (or worst) stories and suggestions into an article.
You can share your stories with us by clicking on the blue “Contribute” buttons. Or if you’re out and about you can download the GuardianWitness app or look for our assignments in the new Guardian app.
