Board Games that never made it
Inspired by jamesjones950's thread.
From Little Britain: "Snakes & Snakes. It's like Snakes and Ladders, but with Snakes. Devilishly difficult - nobody's ever completed it".
Socialist Monopoly. This one's actually quite dull, I played it at a tea party once.
Clue Dough.

Alternative backgammon. Like normal backgammon, but the board is painted on the back of a live pig. Balancing the pieces can be tricky and wellingtons are compulsory. It's also crap if it's raining. The paint runs all over the pig obscuring the playing surface.

Piddly Winks. The object is to try to piddle into a small hole in the center of a board. The game is best played by very muscular men.

Probably more popular than the similarly-named Tiddly Wanks, where guys have a few drinks then do what they enjoy most.

Operation - not the silly skills game with electronic burps and whistles - but a DIY kit to do minor surgical procedures at home thus helping to pay back the deficit. Laugh as you lance Grampa's neck boil!
