This is an educational game designed to help players learn about the the
Book of Mormon, the game resembles a multi-player board game which uses
characters, quotes, and stories from the book. Three skill levels are
included to allow the game to accommodate players whether or not they are
familiar with the Book of Mormon.Players start by choosing one of the
available characters from the Book of Mormon (a short biography of each
character is available as well). Once all players have a character, the
gameboard is shown which features a long, winding path representing the
journey of Lehi's family to reach the promised land. On each turn
players start by rolling a dice (in a typical computer dice fashion, the
screen shows two dice with rapidly changing dots; pressing a key stops
it). The players character will the move forward by the number of spaces
shown on the dice. Based on the space, the computer will show an event
from the Book of Mormon along with the approximate date it occurred or a
quotation. In some cases, instructions will be provided as well (such
as move back or forward a space); one possible instruction is to draw a
card. The card drawn is random and could be a journey card, an ignore
instructions card, or additional instructions (Players can hold on to
ignore instruction cards for later use if they wish to use the card
instead of following negative instructions such as moving backwards).
Many spaces have a point value indicated on them as well; if there are
points, they will added or subtracted from the players score (player
scores don't go below 0 even if additional negative points are
acquired). After any instructions are followed or cards drawn and points
are awarded, the turn is over. The game continues until a player has
accumulated 3 journey cards and a certain amount of points (varies by
skill level).To successfully win the game and earn the necessary
journey cards, players will need to venture out of the main gameline
onto three additional journey paths which can be entered by landing
exactly on the marked space for each one. The paths can be completed in
any order and are The Journey of Zeniff, The Missionary Journey of
Mosiah's Sons, and The Journey of the Jaredites. One journey card is
awarded the first time a player enters one of the paths.Three skill
levels are included with the game:Beginner - The simplest version of
the game for ages 5 and up. Knowledge of the Book of Mormon is not
necessary, the game is intended to teach about the book at this level.
Game cards in this level are always used immediately. Players need 25
points to win the game.Intermediate - Similar to the beginner game,
some game cards that are drawn can be saved for later use; lose a turn
or extra turn cards are used immediately. Players need 50 points to win
the game.Advanced - Knowledge of the Book of Mormon is required. When
stories and quotations are displayed, information such as the author,
year, or verse are omitted and points are awarded for filling in the
missing information. Players need 75 points to win the game.
