Outrage! (ous)
Thomas Blood, along with two other men, attempted to steal the Crown Jewels of England in 1671 and was captured. The board game Outrage! dares players to succeed where Blood and his accomplices failed. The game board depicts the Tower of London, which players must navigate to steal and make off with the historic jewels. My head started to hurt going through all the rules (I'm more of an UNO guy...nice and simple) so I don't know all the ins and outs, but I'm sure it's a fascinating experience.
The Deluxe version of Outrage! holds the Guinness Record as "most expensive board game in the world." The board rests on a polished mahogany cabinet with drawer that holds all the game pieces. The replicas of the Crown Jewels include a miniature St. Edward's Crown with rubies, sapphires and emeralds; a small 18 karat gold Prince of Wales' Crown; and Jewelled Sword of Offering with real jewels. All for 7,995 British Pounds, or about $16,000 US. At that price, you may want to build your own tower to protect the precious game.
