Champions of Faith is another Biblical boardgame my wife and I have.
In this game, 2-6 players take on the roles of Old Testament heroes and try to achieve the objectives listed on their character cards.
Each character has traits in Leadership, Wisdom and Endurance.
As the players move around the board, they'll land on spaces containing challenges that will test them against either their Wisdom or Leadership. The respective values become die roll modifiers.
If the player wins, they gain a blue token.
Endurance is similar to Hit Points in other games.
Collect 3 blue tokens and one gets a key.
Obtaining the required number of keys, will give the player a chance to enter the Hall of Faith (Heaven).
The first player to enter the Hall of Faith wins.
The game contains high-quality miniatures, and tokens, along with a sturdy game board and character cards.
The clay tokens, colored green (leadership), white (wisdom), red (endurance), and blue (successful challenges), have a nice feel to them.
The only problem my wife and I had with the tokens was it was hard to read the denominations printed on them.
These came in increments of 1, 5 and 10. The blue token has no printed value and just indicates a player succeed in a challenge.
So I took all the tokens and slathered them in various shades of ink wash: Blue, tan, green and red.
This also help keep the color of the tokens from coming off. The red tokens especially, left stains on our fingers.
If you're in the mood to play a game representing some of the challenges faced by the heroes of the Old Testament, then Champions of Faith is a nice family game to play.
