Stumbleupon is a great tool for
killing some time, but sometimes it seems to kill you. By some random
chance – or clever joke – I was introduced to the world of
Christian gaming. A site devoted to the sale of quality family board
games, designed to bring parents and children (more specifically
teenagers) closer to each other and, of course our lord and savior.
Cactus Game Design offers plenty of
“new and exciting” games of the board, card and that new fangled
computation machines type. Apparently new now means to take an
existing product and just replace the pieces with those more
christian-like. And as far as exciting, nothing is more exciting than
no longer being able to place Helen Keller as “Spunky” or Batman
as “Drunk and Disorderly” in Apples to Apples. And I'm sure
everyone's youth leader will most likely frown upon dropping that
Jesus card down for “Eternally Damned.”
Now I must be fair; a few of these
games do look original. Though, has the trading card genre really
been original since Magic the Gathering? Okay, so maybe these ones
don't have any magic – that would be an abomination.
Let's get to the good stuff now. Video
games. How could anyone not be attracted to tiles like “Truth
Seeker” or “Ominous Horizons?” Heck the former even looks like
a somewhat decent platformer/rpg. Almost like... Quest 64. A lot like
Quest 64. And who can resist enthralling puzzles such as spelling out
bible book titles with lettered crates.
Oh, but I truly cannot wait to get my
hands on a copy of Ominous Horizons. It's always been my dream to be
a time traveling paladin on a quest to destroy historical documents.
Especially those contradictory of the christian bible. For god knows
westerners would have never succeeded in building a civilization
without the christian bible.
Now perhaps your little sheep are too
sugar intoxicated to sit down for an entire game of Outburst (Bible
Edition). No worries there are toys for the little ones. My favorites
include the action figures – complete with non-positional
appendages – and the Proverbs 31 Dolls. The dolls even include a
how-to guide for sexism. Proverbs 31 is also the passage that states
it's okay to “drink 'til one forgets” (why do you all think its
one of my favorites).
Anyway, I wish to end this with an
invitation. Christina and I will gladly give one of these products a
more in depth review by playing through an entire round, the choice
being left to the reader. Leave us a few comments and voice your
vote! In the meantime I am going to work on cornering this market. I
have a great idea for a “new and exciting” version of LIFE. The
person to make it to the end with the lowest education and fewest SIN
tiles is the winner!
