Hooray for boardgames!
May. 6th, 2009 12:32 amLast night, my roommate and I got into a lengthy discussion about a new variant of the game of Life that I would so love to make. It's a christian version called Martyrdom, and my thought is that it might not be for kids of a younger age... It totally had my roomy and I laughing hysterically at what we could do in the game. Like, instead of having Life tiles, one accrues treasures in heaven, and just like the dud tiles, some will be but hay and stubble. And instead of money, one wins and loses followers, some to heresy, and others to gruesome deaths! Yay! Anyone who didn't get that it was a sort of tongue in cheek thing would either think it awesome, or possibly blasphemous, but I would totally love to make such a game. Instead of professions, one would get gifts of the spirit. Along the way, one could do things like call down fire to burn the wicked, or live in a cave like a hermit for a while to gain humility points. I am amused already.
