Editorial Review
Designed to provoke thought and conversation among followers of the Christian faith, WWJD poses some tough questions. Starting with Situation cards, players encounter real problems in four categories: The World, The Community, The Family, and Friends. Situations include alcoholism, domestic abuse, cheating, and racism, among other things. Lesser dilemmas, such as hurt feelings over a forgotten birthday, are also addressed. Situation cards provide the player a choice among three answers (as well as the opportunity to come up with a different answer entirely). A fifth card category, Reflection, asks open-ended questions. A Reflection card might address cloning, abortion, or taxes. The players come up with their own answers to these cards using their faith as a guide and, if needed, the included Spiritual Guide. The answers are then discussed by all players with the goal of deepening their understanding of Jesus and what he would do in the same circumstances.
