War on Terror, The Boardgame is a satirical, strategic board game produced by TerrorBull Games. Released in 2006, War on Terror was invented primarily as a reaction and a challenge to modern day events, in particular the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the counter-productive pursuit[1] of the so-called War on terror in general.

Like many war board games, the basic goal is to conquer ('liberate') the world. However, unlike Risk — to which it has been compared — the mechanics and strategy are based closely on reality.

According to the manufacturer's website, several major game and toy fairs, as well as several retailers, have refused to stock this product. The justification in all cases is some variation on the claim that the topic is highly inflammatory and may be offensive to some.
