Help Us Create Inspiring Family Games
Donation protected
We have some exciting news for you all as believers in the Bible and the truth contained therein.
As believers in the Scriptures ourselves, we are aware that there are quite a number of believers that enjoy family time together playing card games and board games.
The unfortunate reality of the board gaming industry is that themes with magic and dragons, fantasy and even every historical mythology are incredibly popular, yet the Bible, which is rich in factual, verifiable history, with some of the most incredible accounts are completely ignored!
It is our desire, as a small group of literal Bible believers who happen to be avid board gamers, to bring more quality, engaging board games to the market that are themed on Biblical events, regardless of one's religious leanings. Of course, we do pray that those who are unfamiliar with the Scriptures might be led to opening the Word of Life and find deeper meaning for their own lives through participating a Biblically based board game.
For this reason, it is our belief that a solid, enjoyable board game or card game can be a useful outreach tool for you and your family to introduce to friends and other family members to share together and possibly open a conversation of deeper Biblical truths!
We have spent the last year and half developing a board game and a card game that both feature the Tribes of Israel and their experiences at Sinai and the wanderings in the wilderness.
TRIBES OF ISRAEL
Tribes of Israel is a Deck-Building Card Game for 2 to 4 players, where you become the leader of one of the Tribes of Israel wandering in the wilderness, increasing your Tribe, building tools to advance your tribe, seeking the divine intervention of the Almighty the God of Israel and doing battle with the Amalekites who harry your journey through the desert.
Each turn, from your selection of cards in hand, you must decide which tribe members you wish to allocate toward increasing your tribe, build tools, seek the Almighty, or ready to defend yourselves from raiding bands of Amalek.
PLAY:
1.) Draw five cards.
2.) Use Tribe members to:
a.) Increase your Tribe gathering food and water.
b.) Build tools using your build skills and writing.
c.) Seek Divine aid with your spiritual abilities.
d.) Hold some Tribe members to join with the other Tribes in defending yourselves from an unknown force of Amalekites whereby, if successful in defeating them, may gain some
valuable booty, or if unsuccessful, losing a Tribe member!
3.) If your Draw Pile is empty, simply reshuffle your used cards and keep increasing your Tribe through whatever means you see the best, for the victory goes not to the tribe who has the most possessions, but whoever has the largest Tribe-count in the end...
As with most Deck-Building Card Games,
Tribes of Israel is an easy to learn game, where everyone is engaged
in every turn right to the end and can be played in an average of
around 30 - 45 min depending on player count, and is a fast-paced
exciting game with an equally exciting theme placing you in the
historical context of a Tribe trying to survive in the desert
wilderness of Sinai.
