What They Think of Us: The Blasphemy Board Game

Board games are known to have existed since at least 3500 BC/BCE.  The first known was Senet in ancient Egypt.

Board games most often involve flat board surfaces marked with paths, trails, or countries and have a predetermined set of game play rules.  Game pieces are moved along the paths on the board toward a set goal.  Many board games involve the idea of battle and are played based on strategy or chance (often the roll of a set of dice) or a combination of the two.

Modern board games include Checkers, Chess, Parchisi, Risk, Candy Land, Go, Stratego, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Battleship, Monopoly, Rummikub, Jenga, Mouse Trap, Gnip Gnop, Scrabble, Sorry!, Twister, and many others.  There seems to be a board game for almost every taste. Here is one for people who think that Christianity is a joke.

Each of the game pieces is a different colored Jesus.  The first Jesus to get himself killed wins the game.  Images of the game pieces:

Christian Board Games

True Light Christian Store has many other products as well but I was intrigued by the idea of their Christian adult board games.  The more recognizable games are Bible editions of the famed games Apples to Apples and  Guesstures.


Chapter and Verse Bible Game description: "An archeologist, Dr. S needs your help to decipher and uncover secret words. He needs assistance sifting through ancient tiles and linking them together to gain clues to a message. Dr. S has started a Log Book detailing the links between the tiles. According to the legend, when you recreate the messages using the ancient tiles you will uncover clues to a secret word(s). Find the tiles, build the links, read the writings and claim your reward of wisdom, one word at a time."
