I am both a youth pastor and game shop owner. There are 'Christian' games available, but they are either obscure, super lame, or are a previously existing game with a Bible sticker stuck in front of the original name. We have researched, developed and even play-tested games at my shop, but have hit a tremendous roadblock: we don't know if it's possible to make a game that promotes a Christian value, fun! 'Let's all work together' doesn't usually have gamers standing in line to play. 'I win' promotes pride. 'I destroyed your army' causes the players to attempt to kill and destroy. So does one exist, or could it be done?
