Hey there!

To answer your question, yes, there have been a few controversial style board games that have been released recently. One that comes to mind is called "Secret Hitler."

At first glance, the game sounds incredibly offensive and controversial. However, the game is meant to be a fun and educational way for players to learn about Hitler's rise to power and the complexities of democracy.

The game is played by a group of players who are split into liberals and fascists. Each round, players take turns electing a president, who then picks a chancellor. Together, the two players must work to pass laws that benefit their side. However, some of the players will secretly be fascists, and they will try to pass fascist laws.

One of the most controversial aspects of the game is the use of the term "Hitler." Many people feel that the use of such a sensitive topic in a game is disrespectful and trivializes the horrors of the Holocaust. However, the creators of the game have stated that their intention was to create a game that stimulates discussions about fascism and democracy.

Another controversial game that has recently been released is called "Pandemic." This game is meant to mimic a global pandemic, and players must work together to find a cure before the disease spreads too far.

On the surface, the game seems harmless enough. However, some people have criticized the game for being insensitive to those who have been affected by real-life pandemics. Additionally, some have pointed out that the game reinforces a narrative of the Western world playing the hero by finding a cure for diseases that often originate in developing countries.

Overall, these controversial board games are certainly not for everyone. However, if you're interested in challenging your beliefs and sparking meaningful discussions, they might be worth checking out. Just be prepared for some heated debates!
