A War On Terror board game designed in Cambridge has been seized by police who claim the balaclava in the set could be used in a criminal act.

The satirical board game was confiscated along with knives, chisels and bolt cutters, from climate protesters during a series of raids near Kingsnorth power station, in Kent, last week.

The board game included a spinner that could land on axis of evil. If the player got that they had to wear a balaclava with the word “evil” on it. The police said that the balaclava could be used to disguise a person’s face and therefore could be used in the commission of a crime.

I figure the cops wanted to play the game but were too cheap to buy their own.
