Engaging & Educational (and fun!)
A beautiful and captivating table game with just the right amount of strategy, that takes you back thousands of years, as it painlessly familiarizes players with biblical geography and history. And those who take time to muse on each card's painting and Bible verse (not necessary to play the game) will find themselves pulled into 100 historical events filled with crucial lessons. And if you are one of those who wants to go deeper into these stories, as mentioned at the end of the game's instruction sheet, you can watch the KING of GLORY movie (from which much of the game's artwork has been adapted) and connect the dots between the Old and New Testament Scriptures and discover how the Bible's many stories fit together to make ONE STORY. https://www.amazon.com/KING-GLORY-Movie-~-2/dp/B01M2WFZJ6

Recommend for Christian Families
As avid Christian Ticket to Ride game players we saw this game and took a risk in spending the same price as a T2R game. It is good thick quality board, cards, and pieces.We have ages 7-13 year olds (and ourselves) and we all, after the adults could explain it, were able to play it. It took some coaching for the younger kids but it wasn't long before everyone was taking their turns just fine.We would and do suggest this game for Christian families and think it is a great Sunday afternoon game for playing between church services.

Needs video instructions
Honestly I have not been able to play it.We are not a board game family meaning we are not usted to playing these kinds of games. However I wanted to connect with my 12 years old daughter so we sat asid every Friday evening to play. The instructions were hard to understand we spent the whole time trying to figure out how to play the game then I tried looking for a video to see how to play it and could not find it.So I don’t know if there is a video to show us how to play it.The game looks very nice and intriguing so hoping to eventually figure it out we decided not to return it. We haven’t even try again just thinking about how hard it was last time.

Too complicated and collecting dust
Not what I hoped for...by the time read instructions and figured out how to play decided to play something else.Do you accept returns past 30 days?

Best Bible-themed game ever! And generally, a truly great game!
Having enjoyed the gameplay of Carcassonne for many years and the competitiveness of Monopoly for a lifetime, I am psyched that there is finally a Bible-themed strategy game of such depth and creativity!You don’t have to be an expert theologian to play, however the references to locations in ancient Israel and events are detailed and intriguing. With a couple views from the YouTube tutorial, the game is up and running quickly.Between the depth of play for point-scoring and strategy that can be implemented to score the best points and out-maneuver your opponent, there is a great deal of engagement as you plan your next turn even while others are playing their turn. Perhaps better than any other game I play, the planning you can do when it’s not your turn does a great job of keeping everyone engaged throughout the game.The “Bible” label has not been merely tacked on as an after-thought to a generic game, but the Biblical theme is the engine that runs the game. It’s a great opportunity to learn lesser-known events from history while getting some good competitive juices flowing.I really can’t say enough about how much we’ve enjoyed our play-through a during family game night, holidays and late-night challenges. A must for everyone who enjoys Strategy Board games!

This game is awesome! I've played it three times now
This game is awesome! I've played it three times now, and we've only had the game two weeks. It is a very fun, very involved game. I haven't succeeded in winning it yet ;), but it is still quite fun. It is very well designed. You tell a ton of hard, concentrated, and fine work went into it. My favorite part are the invent cards. The illustrations on them are so cool, and the verses were well-picked. You can learn a lot about the Bible and what happened in Bible times, as well as when it happened. It's very thorough in its coverage of biblical events. 5 Stars and Double Thumbs Up!!!!
