Bible Clash: Gospels

From BoardGameGeek:

THE GOSPELS introduce real people-ordinary men and women shaped by an extraordinary God. Peter stepped out in faith, yet stumbled. Mary Magdalene was redeemed and became a witness. Nicodemus searched for truth in the night. Each life reveals faith, wisdom, courage, obedience, service, and strategy-sometimes faithfully displayed, sometimes wrongly directed. Bible Clash invites you to explore their stories, learn their strengths, and remember: God is still shaping lives today-including yours. These are real lives, not perfect heroes. Some believed. Some resisted. All reveal the need for Christ. As you play, consider: What does it mean to truly follow Jesus Christ? “And Jesus said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.'” MARK 1:17 WHAT'S IN THE BOX: 32 Character Cards (split 16 per player) Each card features a Gospel character rated across 6 biblical categories: Faith, Wisdom, Courage, Obedience, Service, Strategy • Rules Cards Outscore your opponents in head-to-head Bible character matchups. PLAYERS: 2–3 AGES: 8+ (Not suitable for children under 3 years) TIME: 5–15 min HOW TO PLAY SETUP: Shuffle and deal all cards evenly. Keep your cards together as a face-down deck in hand. You may look only at your top card. PLAYING A ROUND 1. CHOOSE A CATEGORY: The starting player places their top card face up on the table, chooses a category, and reads it aloud. “Peter… Faith 8!” 2. COMPARE: Each other player places their top card face up and reads the same category. 3. HIGHEST WINS: The highest score wins the round. The winner takes all revealed cards and places them at the bottom of their deck. 4. NEXT ROUND: The winner chooses the next category, but cannot choose the same category twice in a row. TIES: If there's a tie, place the tied cards in the middle. Only tied players continue in the tie round. Continue playing until there is a clear winner. That player takes all cards in the middle. WINNING: Play until one player collects all the cards. If a player runs out of cards, they are out of the game. SHORT GAME: Set a time limit before you begin and play as normal. When time is up, finish the current round. The player with the most cards wins. THE 6 CATEGORIES: Each category highlights a different trait seen in Bible characters-their faith, wisdom, courage, obedience, service, or strategy. Ratings from 1 to 10 show how strongly that trait appears in Scripture, based on their biblical account. A higher number means the trait is more clearly displayed, whether faithfully used or wrongly directed. FAITH: What a person trusts in-God, self, or something else. Some show true faith; others misplaced trust. HEBREWS 11:6; PROVERBS 3:5–6 WISDOM: Understanding and applying God's truth with discernment. PROVERBS 9:10; JAMES 1:5 COURAGE: Boldness to act or speak despite fear, pressure, opposition, or danger. JOSHUA 1:9; 2 TIMOTHY 1:7 OBEDIENCE: Willingness to follow what is commanded, from the heart or only outwardly. JOHN 14:15; 1 SAMUEL 15:22 SERVICE: Humility and care for others through action, sacrifice, faithfulness, or support. MARK 10:45; GALATIANS 5:13 STRATEGY: Acting with discernment, timing, and insight in pursuing a purpose, whether good or wrongly directed.
