Oh, good. Another game by someone who obviously knows jack about games. Is it really too much to ask that if you're going to design a game, you do some research and become at least a tiny bit familiar with good game design?"The Inheritance board game teaches the Seven Pillars of Wisdom as revealed and celebrated by King Solomon (Prov.9:1) In a new game play combining the mechanics of Monopoly® and Parcheesi, Biblical Wisdom is acquired in a Christ centered game of interactive family fun."
Monopoly and Parcheesi? Awesome. I'll take six, please!
"Staged in the land of Ancient Israel and based on the territories of the tribes during the reign of King Solomon, players trade, hug, pay tithes and make offerings for the poor as the strategy to success. The inheritance of the promised Kingdom is learned as the winner ascending to the center of the board, likened unto the New Jerusalem, rings the game bell and announces “Worthy is the lamb” celebrating Christ as the Lamb of God. (Rev. 5:11). "
I will admit that "hugging" is a mechanism I haven't seen in a game before. I don't think I really want to hug too many of my gaming buddies. To the good, any game where you get to ring a bell and announce "Worthy is the lamb" sounds like oodles of fun!
"Prepare your loved ones as wise virgins rehearsing and cultivating the elements of how to make Godly decisions, and every time the family sits down to play. Yes, once again God has chosen the weak things of this world to confound the mighty, the simple things of this world to confound the wise, because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and no man had imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him... His secret Wisdom."
Wise virgins? I think that speaks for itself.
To further demonstrate their awesome proofreading skills, on their Media and Press Release page, right in the middle of the page are two unrelated yet not at all inappropriate links:
For true wackiness, see their $10,000 "challenge" to atheists and agnostics to replicate the "divine" grammar of the Bible. Really.
After some hard work deciphering their own obviously non-divine (i.e. terrible) grammar, the challenge boils down to the eager atheist submitting some form of writing, equivalent to that found in the Bible. The people with the $10,000 will then judge whether or not your writing is equivalent. Gee, that seems fair.
The essay [1st John], in it’s completeness, can be read in the reverse, verse by verse, while communicating the same meaning as when read normally.
We claim that from a grammatical perspective no book has been written like the Bible, nor is it easy to do so. A winner will be selected from the first 100 entrants and if there are none after 8.10.08, then the first person to successfully accept the challenge and prove us wrong, wins $10,000.00 in cash. It's that simple.
The objective of the search is divided into two phases. In phase one participants are required to find a similar letter or essay, on any subject, similar in length and it’s construction of reverse comprehension as found in 1st John. Phase two requires the contestants to write an essay, the subject of which is to be the Seven Pillars of Wisdom as revealed by King Solomon and disclosed in the board game Inheritance® This essay should be readable in the reverse sentence by sentence while communicating the same message as when read normally, and similar to 1st John.
