Christian Board Games for Youth
The Acts Board Game (Good)
Help
spread the Good News and earn victory points at the same time! In this
Bible game, you gain points by spreading out on the map or increasing
your number of followers in a region depending on the strategies you
employ and the cards you draw. It's a fun game similar to other
civilization-building board games but with a much nobler purpose.

it makes a good party game.

Bible Journeys / The Life of Board Games (Fair)
Each
of these board games have you answering multiple-choice trivia
questions as you advance through the story on the board. They're good
for reviewing and discussing the Bible but are fairly simple.

Bible Sequence Board Game (Excellent)
Draw the cards and work with your partner to get 5 in a row before the other team does. The game will remind you of the Bible events, and there are Scripture references on the cards to look up the stories while you play. If you're looking for easy but fun board games to play, this fits the bill.
Bibleopoly Board Game (Excellent)
Like
Monopoly except totally different. In this game, you help your fellow
players and build a church. It's a very fun idea that turns Monopoly on
its head. It's another good one if you're looking for family board
games.

Champions of Faith Board Game (Excellent)
In
this game, you play as a character from the Bible and have your own
mission to achieve. You work your way around the board, choosing which
direction you go, trying to land on the spaces that will help you
achieve your goal. Meanwhile, every other player is doing something
similar. If you've ever played the fantasy game Talisman, it will feel
very familiar.

Cranium: Bible Edition Board Game (Excellent)
One
of my absolute favorite group games. It has everything from charades
and Pictionary to Bible trivia and word puzzles. It's one of those board
games the whole family can enjoy, no matter how old they are.

Daystar Board Game (Excellent)
Rather
than a game, this is more like a simulation of the Christian life! Walk
through the entire experience of being saved, developing in
Christlikeness, and battling temptation in this game. There are also
some trivia spaces that test your knowledge of the Bible.

Exodus from Egypt Board Game (Good)
The
art is great for this game, and the questions and board are good for
reviewing or discussing the Bible story. There's not a lot of strategy
to the game, though.

Purchase |
Faith and Redemption Board Game (Excellent)
I
love this game. First, you race to get the animals on the ark before
the flood starts, then you travel the board seeking to avoid sins and
convert as many people as possible. You have prayer and Scripture cards
to help you along the way. Of course, landing on certain squares grants
you bonuses as well, including forgiveness for sin cards you may have
picked up during the game.

Inspiration! Board Game (Good)
Part
trivia, part strategy, part luck, there's something in this game for
everyone. There are 3 play modes that increase its complexity. It's also
a short game to learn and play. It's also a little different in that
you're not answering questions based on the Bible but on Church history
and how God has inspired His people to make scientific discoveries. The
battle systems come into play as you control angels and other guardians
to defeat obstacles in your path.

The Journeys of Paul Board Game (Good)
Strategize against the other players in this game to see if you can build more churches in the places Paul visited.

Kings of Israel Board Game (Excellent)
Play
as the prophets trying to rid Israel of idolatry before the nation is
overthrown by the Assyrians! This is a fun Bible game that will get you
into and thinking about the time of the kings and prophets in Israel's
history. There's also a lot of variety and strategy involved, making it a
very solid game. Also, check out the video game version of the game on
PC or Mac!

It's lacking in gameplay, but it generates great discussion! This game is for those who enjoy the Left Behind franchise.

LifeStories Board Game: Christian Version (Excellent)
This
is a sharing game that's great for getting a group of people to talk.
Use it to get to know some new friends or take it to your youth group to
break the ice.

Miracles and Pitfalls Board Game (Good)
Answer
Bible trivia questions in this game as you move around the board. Get
blessings from the miracle cards to help you, or bad luck from the
pitfall cards. You can often answer the category of question that your
knowledge is strongest in, but sometimes, you'll have to meet the
challenge of answering a category where you might be lacking.
Portals and Prophets Board Game (Excellent, Video Intro)![]() |
Purchase |
Pilgrim's Progress Board Game (Good)
Coming
with an illustrated book, this board game and story based on the
classic allegory makes for some great discussion with your kids.
Gameplay is fairly simple, though, as you mostly have to rely on the
luck of the dice and what cards you pull without employing any conscious
strategy.

Have

opponents.

Redemption: City of Bondage Board Game (Excellent)
This
is a very cool game based on the most successful of Bible-inspired card
games. You enter the city and engage in spiritual warfare. Each enemy
falls to your faith, wisdom, or good deeds.

The Road to Bethlehem Board Game (Excellent)
This
is a game similar to Dungeons & Dragons in that you have one player
who narrates the story and presents you with options. The difference,
of course, is that it's a game for Christians, and you play as yourself,
not a character you make up. As a team, you decide what to do and
participate in real-life active challenges to act out parts of the
story. The game is set up in chapters so that you'll need to play a few
times before you reach the end of the story.

Settlers of Canaan Board Game (Excellent)
This
edition of the famous Settlers of Catan game puts you in the shoes of
one of the tribes of Israel, trying to settle your territory and
organize the national capital of Jerusalem. If you like civilization
building games, this one's for you.

Sola Fide - "Faith Alone" Board Game (Good)
Catholics vs. Protestants at the dawn of Martin Luther's Reformation. Which side can win the most influence over the Holy Roman Empire? This is a fairly simple game with a lot of educational value. If you're interested in the history of the Church, it's well worth playing.

Solomon's Temple Board Game (Excellent)
Race
against your opponent in this game to be the first to build your
temple. While you're trying to get it done, you'll also have to fight
off the Babylonians, sacrifice for your people's sins, and attend to
other national matters that a king of Israel would have dealt with.

Looking
for some combat and strategy? Try this game that pits four factions -
Romans, Jews, and Christians - against each other under Nero's rule.
This is a historically grounded game for serious gamers.

The Ungame Board Game: Christian Version (Good)
Answer questions while racing around the board. This game is a great conversation starter.

Wisdom of Solomon Board Game (Good)
The
title of this game is a little deceiving because you're not playing or
making decisions as Solomon. You're acting as his governors and
competing for his favor as you build the kingdom and trade resources. It
does take a lot of strategy to win, and some of the cards have Bible
verses written on them as the flavor text. It also puts in the mindset
of the time period, so it's worth playing but don't expect much
spiritual benefit from this game.
