2 Sow or Not 2 Sow

Abstract

This is an educational board game for Christians, for up to six players, ages 8 and older. The game consists of a square game board, four decks of special playing cards, game money, three dice, character cards, colored crowns used as moving markers, scratch paper, and reader-friendly directions. The game is designed to instruct Christians on the benefits of sowing financial seeds—physical seeds—by volunteering time in the church or honorable organizations, managing their finances correctly, and being a good steward of what they have control over, while seeking out opportunities to increase the help they give to others as well as ways to increase their passive and portfolio income. It provides Biblical insights on the Kingdom System of Provision and the laws that govern it. The game is needed by Christians of all ages, since it teaches how to prosper via God's way, while facing real-life, everyday challenges. It covers basic accounting, basic investments, and the Kingdom System of Provision. It provides immediate feedback and real-life results, in response to the players' correct and incorrect choices as they relate to tithing, giving offerings, helping individuals in need, volunteering their time, managing their finances, seeking out business ventures, and following the laws of sowing and reaping.
