Biblical board game

Abstract

A biblical-based board game includes a board having multiple spaces along which players can move, or climb, as they get questions or tasks correct. The questions and tasks can be divided into four categories—multiple choice questions; fill-in-the-blank questions; word exclusion tasks, where one player gets their teammate to say a phrase/word without the first player mentioning excluded words; and using drawing or gestures to get their teammate to say a word or phrase. The categories are determined by a random means, such as spinning a four-sided, four-colored top. Each player uses a colored angel playing piece to move along the game board, or, to climb Jacob's ladder. A timer can be provided to limit the amount of time to get the correct answer or complete the task.
