Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host, Rebecca Felgate and you guys seem to loveeee a cursed game.
I made a part one of the cursed games and you guys well all over it so I have decided
to make a part two… and how better to deliver it than in velvet!
Yep.
Before I get started, let me know what cursed videos you want to hear next – what about
cursed foods or cursed theatre plays – I would LOVE That one!
Let me know in the comments section down below and while you are there, why don’t you like
and share this video with a buddy …or someone you want to curse and would be stupid enough
to try any of these games!
- Social!
Okay, lets start strong at number 10 - This game killed half a million people – It is
Bo Bo was a board game that involved a 14 faced
dice and some serious strategy.
Bo was an absolute banger of a Han Dynasty Game – so we are talking 206 BC to 220 AD…which
is a long time for a game to be surviving and thriving.
Bo lost its popularity when it led to a whole host of untimely deaths… and Bo, well Bo
hasn’t been played in 1,500 years.
Here is why.
So two ancient Chinese kingdoms were brought together when two men played Bo.
Liu Xian played Prince Qi, but as Xian won the game, Qi got very angry and threw the
heavy board at the visitors head, killing him.
This was enough to anger Xian’s father who declared war on the kingdom, marching half
a million troops towards the capital.
What ensued was a bloody war that killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civillians and
…well… the game has basically been retired since then.
Probably for the best.
9 - EA Madden NFL I have to say I have never played this game…I
have played PES, but that’s like…football football.
The NFL is the national football league, one of America’s fave sports leagues to watch.
This game allows players to play as their favourite American Football sports stars on
the PS4 and the XBOX.
So this game is not so much cursed for the people at home that play it than it is for
the people unlucky enough to have been on the cover of it.
The game came out in 1999 and over the past 19 years – 15 of the cover stars have befallen
injury or misfortune in some unexpected way.
This list includes Barry Sanders, Michael Vick and Rob Gronkowski.
The rumours of the game were so strong that EA have publicly denied that a curse exists…which…
well that doesn’t make me feel any better.
This game has driven people mad 8 - 10 thousand Dollar Magic Squares
If you love difficult puzzles, you will probably have heard of, and even played with, Magic
Square puzzles.
These puzzles work is by each direction of squares in a line creating the same sum….
It works with 4 by 4 magic squares, 5 by 5, 6 by 6, 7 by 7….but at the moment nobody
has been able to create a 3 by 3 magic square that works.
In 1996, Martin Gardner, a mathematician offered $10,000 to anyone who could generate one,
but over 20 years later, nobody has been able to do it… many have tried and literally
sent themselves doolally in the process.
7 - Lady Spades Lady Spades is kind of like bloody Mary but
like, actually worse!
The idea with Lady Spades is also to summon an angry probably dead woman, although Lady
Spades does come with a bit of a positive.
If you manage to successfully summon the spirit, you can make a wish.
BUT like with all occult games and assorted demonic summonings, Lady Spades comes with
a few cons, too.
If you in any way annoy or upset the spirit, not only will she not grant your wish, she
will make the opposite happen AND she may even possibly haunt you…so…probably not
worth the risk!
The stakes with lady spades are pretty high!
6 - Taboo: the Sixth Sense There is a reason that Taboo, the Sixth Sense
was taken off the shelf, and that reason is it was probably cursed.
The 1988 game was for the NES console and was like a tarot reading future predicting
game.
Players would enter their name and age and a question, a bit like a more in detail death
clock or magic 8 ball, this game would predict your future by giving you a video graphic
tarot reading.
It seems that there might have been something more mystical going on here, though, as the
game reportedly accurately predicted the tragic deaths of some of its young players.
Also…can we just listen to the opening music….
Like clearly this game is cursed.
Again… lets have a little listen to the tarot shuffling music….
Urm.
5 - Tunnels Tunnels is another mirror game and by now
you should basically know that all mirror games are pretty damn cursed.
For this one, you are supposed to set up two big mirrors facing one another and stand in
the middle.
You stand looking in the mirror and count how many frames you can see over your shoulder
in your reflection…like mirror after mirror after mirror….
It is probably enough to send you mad.
Anyway, you are supposed to look out for movement in the frames, as the many you’s reflected
are thought to reflect other you’s from other dimensons.
Its all a bit mind bending… but basically, so it goes – one of the versions of you
may bring something bad from their dimension to yours…and…you know, in ever world in
which you exist…you probably aren’t always good!
Probs better to leave this one alone!
4 - Voodoo Doll Board Game Who’s idea was it to invent a voodoo doll
board game!
I am honestly not sure black magic lends itself to gaming… many believes in voodoo magic
will tell you it is absolutely not a game.
None the less – Kheper Games have brought out a game not so ironically called cursed
that includes four voodoo dolls that lets you place curses on the other players.
The game is part card, part pin in effigy… classic.
If you have the fewest pins in your voodoo doll when someone reaches ten pins, you become
the voodoo king or quin and you win.
While this does sound like good harmless fun and actually I now have to admit I kind of
want to play it…I’m not sure we should be messing with voodoo!
3 - White Enamel White Enamel is clearly cursed…or haunted…
or both…at this point it is much of a much… there is some bad juju here.
So this web point and click seems to be some kind of horrifying online game or interactive
movie or something.
When the site launches you are overlooking a town.
You can then explore parts of it, and it seems to be a sprawling mental asylum with scary
sounds and scary rooms.
There is one part where you can draw on the walls in blood…
Also, the page loading screens are needles that lose fluids…like we the viewer are
being injected.
When on this website I noticed that my browser was telling me it is not secure, sooo either
this game will curse you, or curse your computer in the form of a virus.
Either way, I think I am good….I’ll stay away from this one.
2 - Yahtzee You might not know this, but Yahtzee is one
of the top board games to cause domestic violence!
There have been a number of Yahtzee related bust ups and even some deaths!
For those of you unfamiliar with Yahtzee – it is a random chance dice roll game in thirteen
rounds.
Thirteen… hmm… a pretty cursed number if ever I heard one.
So basically, it seems this game evokes a lot of strong feelings … notably, a nine
year old called the police when a game of Yahtzee devolved into a brutal fight between
his parents.
His drunken father hit his wife with a wine bottle and it seems the mother also resorted
to violence on the man.
The pair were questioned by police when they arrived in the scene and the child was taken
into custody.
Another Yahtzee game led to a Florida man chocking his wife, and another Christmas game
of Yahtzee led to the notorious killing of a mother of three by her children, who put
a bag over her head and hid her body in a shed.
So….Yahtzee….
I don’t think it brings out the best in people.
Finally coming in to number one… this is a bit of a Scottish Mystery… and we all
know I love a good spooky legend….
1 - The Lewis Chessmen I actually love this story…and I love chess…
although maybe I wouldn’t fancy playing with this set for fear of what would happen
to me.
So, the story goes that in 1831 a high tide exposed a cave on the coast near Uig in the
Isle of Lewis off North Scotland.
In that cave, a local labourer found a chest.
Thinking it may contain treasure, he bust it open and found a different kind of treasure
– chess pieces dating back to the 1200s!
So…a then 600 year old board game!
The pieces were made from walrus tusk ivory and are very very expressive.
The labourer was afraid of the pieces, initially running away thinking they were evil fairies.
His wife sent him back and the pieces became valued in the community.
Sadly, bad luck befell the highlander who found the pieces.
Most of them now sit in the British museum, however the urban legend goes that guard dogs
and police dogs that enter the building will not walk past them.
The chess pieces are thought to have come from Norway, so perhaps they have some kind
of Viking Norwegian curse hanging over them!
