Board Games' Higher Calling
NEW YORK - Some of today's lesser-known board games are simply "divine".
Instead of buying up Boardwalk in "Monopoly" or climbing Gumdrop Mountain in "Candyland", players are saving lost souls in "Redemption" and wading through gefilte fish in "Kosherland".
There's a whole set of religious-themed board games on the market today that are growing in popularity.
Some are spin-offs of classic favorites like the "Bingo"- style "Know Islam, Know Peace" and the "Trivial Pursuit"- like "Bible Baffle". Others, like "Redemption", are original, and still others, like "Bible Man", are based on theatrical or movie characters.
"Our sales have grown dramatically over the years", said Lew Herndon, Chairman of the board of Talicor Inc., one of the largest makers of Christian games in the country.
Herndon declined to disclose figures but said hundreds of thousands of people buy Talicor's holy games each year.
In Talicor's "Redemption", players take the part of a Biblical hero like Moses and go about saving lost souls. The company's "Bible Man" is based on a spiritual superhero who fights evildoers. And "The Overboard Adventure Game", based on Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, takes players along on Jonah's adventures.
