17 Fun and Engaging Christian Board Games

BibleOpoly

How many hours do you remember playing Monopoly as a kid? Late for the Sky has a Bible version, Bibleopoly which emphasizes cooperation.

Start in the beginning and journey through Bible cities, Meditation, Community Celebration and occasionally The Abyss. Earn a Cornerstone by helping a fellow player or doing Community Service then make offerings in order to earn the bricks and steeple needed to build a church.

It’s all fun and games until someone lands on go meditate and is out of the game for 3 turns! In Bibleopoly good deeds are rewarded, but sometimes Faith cards intervene. Who knows! You may become the new caretaker of Jerusalem… or you may be swallowed by a great fish!

Wisdom of Solomon

Play this strategic Christian board game while learning more about the Bible, Israel and the surrounding lands with your family. Wisdom of Solomon is so much fun!

King Solomon reigned over the kingdom of Israel during its golden age. He commanded tribute from Israel’s neighbors, expanded Israel’s borders, built roads and fortresses, and kept the peace within the land. His merchants filled the kingdom with exotic goods such as spices, ivory, apes, and peacocks. Perhaps most famously, Solomon also built the Temple in Jerusalem, a golden place of worship lasting hundreds of years. Wisdom of Solomon is a 1-5 player worker placement game taking place during the reign of King Solomon.

Kings of Israel

We don’t have this one but it is on our list to buy for the family for Christmas. I love how the focus of the Christian board game Kings of Israel is on learning: geography, Israel’s kings and biblical events!

Overwhelmed by hordes of invading nations – and a series of corrupt kings – the fate of Israel is balanced on a knife’s edge! The Northern Kingdom’s only hope is that a band of prophets can cleanse it of evil and idolatry before the wrath of God does so – permanently. Kings of Israel is a cooperative game that places two to four players in the role of prophets struggling to save their nation from threats both internal and external. Do you have what it takes to overcome the forces of evil? Or will you let Israel succumb to its own destruction?

Kings of Israel takes place in Israel (the Northern Kingdom) during the reign of its kings up until Israel’s destruction by Assyria. Players are on a team and each person represents a line of prophets that are trying to remove evil and idols from Israel, while building altars throughout the land. If the players are able to build enough altars before the game ends, they win. If Israel is overrun with evil or idols, or Assyria destroys Israel, the prophets all lose.

Faith and Redemption is a Christian board game where players gain followers throughout their epic journey from the Garden of Eden to Judgment Day. As players gain followers, they are granted prayers and miracles that help them overcome the ever-present temptation of sin.

Although Faith and Redemption represents a fallen world, redemption is always possible and forgiveness is never more than a prayer away.

Along the way, the players gain followers and grow in spiritual power, fighting valiantly against sins such as temptation, greed, and vanity. As the power and influence of the Devil grow, so too does the power of God, resulting in the triumphant coming of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. In the end, the player with the fewest amount of sin conquers Satan and wins the game
