YouTuber Michou's board game withdrawn from sale after controversy over content deemed inappropriate for children

Many players of “Who is the liar”, the board game aimed at ages 7 and up launched by influencer Michou, are complaining about questions that are unsuitable for children. The latter has therefore been withdrawn from sale.

A board game by YouTuber Michou aimed at children “from 7 years old” but accused of conveying inappropriate content for this age is being withdrawn from sale, announced the influencer and the publisher of the game, citing “a manufacturing error”.

“We have been informed of the presence of inappropriate questions in certain cards of the game 'Who will be the liar ?', intended for a young audience”, explained the company Topi Games in a press release on Saturday.

“This situation is due to a manufacturing error in the content validation processes”, the company continued, adding that it understands “the outrage caused by this incident” and assumes “full and complete responsibility for this error.”

A refund has been made

“The box will therefore be withdrawn from sale and a refund will be made to customers”, added the influencer Michou on X while apologizing.

This 23-year-old video game enthusiast has 10.2 million subscribers on YouTube.

His board game, inspired by his videos, was marketed with a label indicating “from 7 years old” while some cards asked players questions with sexual connotations, which Internet users quickly pointed out, with photos to support it, after Christmas, on social networks.

“We are actively working with our partners, both in-store and on online platforms, to avoid any new purchases as soon as possible”, Topi Games specified.
