Classic Games, Christian Style

The games everybody knows, rebuilt with a Christian heart: the Light against the Night. Chess, checkers and Reversi first, then fifty-six classic board games, each with a Christian theme and a story from the Bible, grouped by the way they play.

Step & Capture

Pick up one of your pieces, put it on a neighbouring point, and possibly take something. Seventeen games differ only in the adjacency graph and the capture rule.

Over the Wall Guide the king safely to a corner, or surround him with your ring of attackers. The Wolf and the Flock Corner the prowling wolf with seventeen geese, or leap and scatter the flock. Crossing Over March your pawns forward diagonally. Touch the enemy baseline first to win. The Gathering Manoeuvre your scattered pieces until they unite into one single connected group. A Threefold Cord Form mills of three in a row to remove your opponent's pieces from the board. Wheat and Tares Jump over enemy pieces on the ancient diagonal grid. Every jump is mandatory. The Roaring Lion Crowd four roaring lions with twenty goats until not a single beast can move. Draw Nigh Step toward or away from enemy lines to sweep whole rows off the board at once. The Fowler's Snare Whirl around corner loops and strike your opponent's pieces from behind. Sowing and Reaping Drop your counters onto the sands and sandwich enemy pieces to capture them. The One That Strayed Jump an enemy piece to capture it, then choose a second enemy piece to remove. Eight Souls Slide your counters between the eight points and the centre to block your opponent. The Pool of Bethesda Slide three counters along the octagonal lines into a row through the centre. Go Ye Therefore Spawn copies or leap across squares to convert every adjacent enemy piece. The Exodus Hop your camp of checkers across the board and settle into the opposite corner. From the Four Corners Chain long jumps through crowded lines to race your marbles across the star.
