Product Description

Editorial Review

Unlike Monopoly, Bibleopoly doesn't reward players for the accumulation of wealth, but instead for the accumulation of good deeds. The competition, for two to six players, is about who can do the most for others, not themselves. In the midst of all this kindness, players travel through cities mentioned in the Bible. Careful! Don't land in the Abyss! City Cards, like street cards in Monopoly, give brief biblical descriptions of the various cities. Faith Cards may ask players facts about the cities or to recite Bible verses. The winner of Bibleopoly is the first person to build a church, which requires many offerings. The win is celebrated by all as the winner names the church. This game is an enjoyable way for Bible students to learn biblical history, and it makes an excellent addition to any Sunday School room or family game drawer. --Lee Strucker

This review is from: Late for The Sky Bibleopoly (Toy)

The object is fairly easy, you have to be the first person to build your church!
As in Monopoly, the properties are colored and you must own all of that particular color if you want to build on it.

To build your church, you pay for your cornerstone and then add 3 bricks on top of it. It's pretty expensive and money is pretty hard to come by! And then, you could land on a spot that tells you your church site was flooded...and a brick washed away, in which case, you have to pay for a new one.
But if you succeed in completing your church, you pay a little extra money, and then put your playing piece, which is shaped like a steeple on top of your "church" bricks.
Over-all, this game is pretty fun, but very educational into Christian things as well. The properties are actually names of New Testament- era cities, in order to earn money, you do things like recite common known Bible verses, and stuff like that.
I recommend it!

This was bought as a gift. It was very well received. It is a wonderful family game which not only brings the whole family together, it teaches children the importance of cooperation to get ahead and that they don't have to be ruthless, mean, etc. to win a game.

It is a breath of fresh air to find this kind of game today.
