    A religious educational board game that introduces Catholics to the saints and their missions. Intended to help players understand God's calling in their own lives. Includes a book on the 76 featured saints.

    Players move their pewter figurines around the board a la Monopoly. When landing on a color-coded square they answer one of four questions read from corresponding cards:

    Blue - Light or humorous
    Green - Scripture memory
    Red - Thoughtful, reflective
    Yellow - Lives of the saints

    The first person to fully navigate the board by successfully answering questions wins.

    The game takes about an hour to play and is geared to ages 10 and up. The goal is to learn more about one's faith, one's mission in life, and about the calling in other players' lives.
