ORIGINAL: Shifty Bench But we have a winner..... I have to stop now, can't beat that. Wanna bet? Maybe not so bad per se, but take it in the context that it was released and we have a clear winner. Devised and published by no less than Bill Roache (Corrie's Ken Barlowe), it was an attempt to recoup some money after a disasterous court case against The Sun that left him bankrupt. They'd accused him of being boring, he sued for libel and won but, because the award was the same as News International's out of court settlement offer, he was adjudged to have wasted the court's time and faced massive 6-figure legal fees. Many years ago, I found this being sold for £1 in one of those novelty gift shops that normally cater for stag/hen party items, and just had to buy it to see if it was as bad as it sounded. It wasn't. It was so much worse. At the risk of running foul of Mr Roache's lawyers, producing one of the most mind-numbingly boring board games ever doesn't exactly help his defence!
