Controversy
Whilst the game is credited to Stephen Hand, it bears a strong resemblance to the German board game Ogallala (1977) de:Ogallala (Spiel), designed by Rudi Hoffmann and published in English as Up the Creek by Waddingtons. Hoffman also later produced a sci-fi themed version for Waddingtons called "Starships" (1980). The similarity to Hoffmanns game lead to accusations of plagiarism being made against Games Workshop in the gaming small-press and German media.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
