Yes, that looks like the game. You should try it, it is very fun. But think it was called something else where I played it.
if I see it in the shops I will consider it
but I cant get to the shops at the moment
otherwise I am playing scrabble.

Just a thought, since everything is so very simple, why do we not just create a new wholesome game? Moving around a square like in monopoly, instead of getting cards about great fortunes and taxbreaks, you get cards of blessings/prayers, and cards sending you to hell and stuff. . Perhaps you have a card casting the devil out of hell or something, stuff like that. Cards saying, you picketed an abortionclinic all weekend, stopped five females from getting an abortion, you receive 15 blessings. First one to buy up some sort of streets with blessings wins, and streets must be replace by something else, like biblical places you liberate for God. Those who lose the game go to hell. Sounds like a fun game?

Monopoly was originally called 'The Landlords Game' and was invented by a woman, before the Parker Brothers stole her idea and turned it into evil Monopoly.

Can you not raise 5 imaginary kids for an hour or two, while playing a wholsome boardgame? And that is a possible twist in some of those roleplaying games perhaps, but I am not into those. I just like boardgames. And it was a serious post, manypeople making games, and use patreon or gofundme to raise the cash to have them produced. If people find games with money sinful, just swap money with blessings or something else, and do a replica of a known game. Cowrite a storyline.

I had Bible trivia
what you did was answer bible questions...there was a pack of cards divdied into junior(easy) and senior (hard) questions and you moved your pieces up the rainbow on a board up to Heaven.

in this board game there was no hell. If you didnt get any answers right you just stayed stuck on the lower rung of the rainbow lol

Fo shizzle then, the game just changed level. I believe this is from st Snoop, we can include babymamas and stuff, and make it a segregated game for us if you you want of course. I am not really included of course,since I am an afroscandinavian, with white skin, living a homestead kind of a life, but minor details. Culture is culture. The algoritms just changed in 2015, all I got was afroamerican stuff, so I just went with it. Why fight it? And now we make boardgames. Life is amazing, unexpected stuff just happens, so much fun.

Just following your jivetalk, just some fun. Just improvised some nonsense about how you could throw in sins as bad cards you draw in the boardgame, like unexpected pregnancy, alamony, etc. Another year, another alamony to pay. Which I just realize do not work in a game were money is supposed to be replaced by blessings. And saying that the "algorithms" got weird in 2015, when I just got afroamerican channels suggested all of a sudden, despite not being black or american. And much christian channels, despite being atheist. I stopped searching up what I was interested in, and just went with the suggested channels for me. So black conservative newspeople and black preachers was my path to God.

I found. a Chess set with cards called No Stress Chess...it apparently teaches you how to play chess and shows you what moves you can make...for beginners..so even children can play it

I remember a friend once tried to teach me but I didnt play it enough to remember how

I used to love playing chess. It's a game of probability and maneuvering to obtain a particular outcome.
Pyrrhic victories are ok in this game. Disastrous in real life but strategy plays a huge role.

Winning is good always....but it's best to have your kingdom intact when you do. Sacrificing key pieces on the board or forgetting to protect them is always costly. Good things for teenagers to learn.

My fave board games are Chess, Monopoly, Draughts and Snakes and Ladders.
I think Im going to pull them out today now that this thread reminded me of how much fun they are. Usually I play chess online, same as solitaire and other cards which technically are not board games.
I read somewhere recently that Snakes and Ladders is a pagan ritual? Anyone know more about that?

I think in the US they call it chutes and ladders
Maybe because snakes are too scary? I dunno
