RECOMMENDED
GAMES
Man shall not be
entertained by Redemption alone. These games might not be as incredibly
amazing as Redemption, but they are good in their own way.

The Journeys of Paul
by Prismatech Publishing, LLC
New 2 to 6-player board game. Players race to build 3 to 5
churches at certain cities on their way from Jerusalem to Rome.
The art on the game cards was done by Michelle Spalding, who did the art
for 29 cards in Redemption and the Prophets expansion set. The 4 color 23"x36"
map is historically accurate to 60 A.D. and was designed by the
Ancient
World Mapping Center of the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill.

The Game of Pilgrim's
Progress
If you enjoyed the story of
Pilgrim's Progress, you will enjoy this game. This is a fun family
game with quality components. I recommend being familiar with the
story before playing, although it is not required.
Unfortunately, this game is
currently out of print. |

The Omega Expedition
The point of this game is not
nearly as profound as the above games: you are trying to be the first
one to collect biblical artifacts. The game play is a little more
luck-based than I usually prefer. However, the art on the cards
is exceptionally cool, and the look of the game is kind of like an
Indiana Jones computer game.
