A Troubles-themed board game has been condemned by multiple survivors’ groups for “minimising the suffering” of victims of the Northern Ireland conflict.
The board game, called The Troubles: Shadow War in Northern Ireland, allows players to play as “the British Forces”, “the IRA”, “Loyalist Paramilitaries”, “the Royal Ulster Constabulary” and prominent nationalist or unionist politicians from between 1964 and 1998 in a “card-driven simulation” game.
