(Kansas) December 27, 2005 - A Kansas woman has taken an idea from a popular kid's game and turned into "a god idea."
Jeanne Dray is the maker of "The Kingdom Seekers" board game. Designed for kids age 3 and older, it's played by moving pieces moved along a colorful path. Along the way, players choose cards that tell them how many spaces to move, just like the game "Candyland."
At the end, Jesus gives the winner the "keys to the kingdom."
"You can learn a whole lot if you want to. There's a story that goes with the game. It teaches them character traits for the children. Or you just play the game for absolute fun," explains Dray.
"The Kingdom Seekers" game is currently sold in christian book stores in Wichita and Manhattan, Kansas. Dray is working to get it on the home shopping network QVC in January.
This is a television site, so the capitalization/spelling has been left as in original.
Mods please move if should be elsewhere! :-)
Sounds like it might lead to gamblin'.
"At the end, Jesus gives the winner the "keys to the kingdom."""
Well then, what happens to the losers?
Weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Well then, what happens to the losers?
The keys open the bottomless pit.
Has anyone lived to tell?
Depends on whether or not they choose to use their "exempt from an inquisition" card. :-)
They need to come out with a reformed version. If you draw the 'predestined' card, you automatically win the game.
ROTFLOL!
I'm sure there are fights over the rule that says you have to land on the "Baptism" space before you can win.
Heh. Calvin would be proud of you!
Well, there was this one guy, but few people believe Him.
Hey, that's a "works-based salvation"....you have to be GIVEN the card before the game starts. ;)
What about a 1500s version for Catholics where you can buy indulgence cards?
Except my buddy Trent told me that that wasn't in the rule book.
A Left Behind version where some players get a shortcut and finish early; everyone else has to take the long path but gets a second chance.
A Mormon version with 3 different finish lines. To have a chance at the best finish line, you have to skip turns to get baptised for the other players.
I think someone has already suggested the Church of Christ version where you have to land on a baptism square before you can keep playing.
Lets see. I've hit Reformed, Catholic, Mormon, CoC, and Evangelical. What other versions are needed.
Good point. The card would have to be dealt at the beginning of the game rather than picked up after landing on a square.
The Protestant version where you interpret the rules for yourself, and if no one can agree, you leave and start your own game.
In the game the cards are actually free so it wouldn't work for the Catholics.
Post #14 already covered that.
big whoop. was repeated for emphasis.
