Kingdom Game

Abstract

The Invention provides fun while testing one's knowledge of the Bible and teaches as you play. The invention is designed to be an interactive multi-player game, which includes a board, playing pieces and a guidebook that provides questions. The board is generally a square on which the players would move their pieces around the board. The board has colors on the squares while some squares have writing on them. The guidebook contains questions from Genesis to Revelation from the Holy Bible. The players must answer short questions correctly in order to move to the next space. Some questions are multiple choice, some questions are not short answer. The first player or group of players to land on “The Kingdom” square wins. Game may continue with other players for second or third and so on if players desire.
