„Chemnitz Chasing is a exciting board game with a great mix of competition and cooperation. It is an unfair chase through the streets of Chemnitz.
One player is randomly chosen to be the victim – he may choose between a dastardly jew token or a stinky moslem token – on the run from a bunch of patriotic right guys. The board is a scale map of Chemnitz, dotted with almost two hundred stops or stations for bicycle, bus, cable car and train. The victim moves in secret, but must reveal his mode of transportation on every move and his actual location periodically. With smart play, the pursuers can cordon off their victims escape route and make it impossible for him to move without intersecting one of them. It surly can be draining to be surrounded. Who knows what they gonna do with him?
This game is a lot of fun and simple enough for bullyboys to enjoy and to provide the right atmosphere for them.
And ask for the jew (or moslem)? Well, he gonna have to do his best!„

Chemnitz is a German city in Saxony (formerly East Germany) that made headlines in the summer of 2018 with days of protests by right-wing radicals. The trigger was a stabbing by alleged migrants. Right-wing extremist groups had called for violent demonstrations and, despite warnings, the size of the demonstrations and the willingness to use violence were underestimated. The riots were noticed in many countries around the world.

Chemnitz Chasing is inspired by a boardgame called Mister X or also known as Scotland Yard. The original game board is based on a map of London – I changed it into a map of Chemnitz. For a better recognition I kept the formal language (for ex the symbols at the stops for busses, taxis and trains) but I adapted the public transport to what you would find in Chemnitz.
