Mortality — the Gospel Game
|
Finally, a truly fun, uplifting gospel game! |
| Mortality is the exciting
and popular gospel
board game that helps everyone feel good. Rather than
driving the other players into bankruptcy in order to win, in
Mortality you actually get ahead by helping others! It
also teaches you to laugh at and grow from your troubles. As you build up
enough inner strength, you are able to meet the trials of life and
actually become stronger because of them. |

| It's competitive,
and there is a winner. But it's a friendly competition, great for church
and family activities. And everyone, not just the winner, has fun. Do you have
children who get their feelings hurt easily? Or, on the other hand, do you have children who tend to be
ruthless in games? Don't play Monopoly or Sorry! We've
seen children hurt to tears with some games. But with the gospel game Mortality,
everyone will enjoy it and learn a little about how to truly succeed
in life. Read what the
Family
Review Center has to say about Mortality: "If you take the
game of Life, and the game of Monopoly, Shake them up in a
bag, intermingle the interaction of both the games, and then remove all
of the negatives and replace them with a positive twist - you will come
close to having MORTALITY."

Mortality is built around gospel principles. However,
you don't need to be a Biblical scholar or a theologian in order to play, enjoy, or win the game.
Even people who aren't Christians have played and really enjoyed the game. It's great for parties
and mixers. Get a game going with your friends, and you'll find yourselves
laughing over the troubles each player meets: Your children come home from
school with lice; a hailstorm wipes out your tomato plants; you break your arm
on the kids' jungle gym; mice invade your teenage son's stash of Twinkies. If you have enough inner strength, you'll grow from
each of these challenges. Otherwise, they may do you in!

Warm up to the other players as you invite each other over for dinner, as
you happen to bump into them for a "visit," as you administer to the sick,
take turns being the minister, or counsel over financial difficulties. Run to
fellowship the player who has lost all his testimonies, and you will gain
more strength for yourself. |

Mortality isn't
made to teach a list of "facts" about the gospel. Instead,
gospel principles are
woven into the very fabric of the game. It doesn't give any advantage to the scriptorians or historians. Succeeding at the game requires
cooperation, caring for other players, knowing how to build a solid foundation
in one's youth, and an understanding of how faith and testimony help you endure
trials, and any player who approaches the game in this manner can win.
Mortality takes
about an hour-and-a-half to play, more or less, depending on the experience of the players
and somewhat on luck. It requires a minimum of three players and up to six can play. Young children can be helped to play
the game, but truly understanding it requires an age of at least eight.
You start the game in the childhood section. Here you gain
points or "Testimonies" as they are called, strictly by chance, based on what
your family does. From there you enter the youth section. As a youth, you
begin making decisions on your own that can help you later on or be a detriment
to your later progress. You can serve as a missionary, perform other Christian
service, go on dates, and end up getting married. Avoiding a civil marriage may require
some careful advance planning in order to avoid landing on the "civil marriage"
square—you want a covenant marriage or a temple marriage. From there you move into the adult
section. One player gets to be the minister. This assignment may pass from player
to player depending on what happens in the game. As you move around in the adult
section, you encounter trials of your faith. Depending on how many Testimonies you
already have, these trials can hurt you or help you. You also have an
opportunity to help other players, for which you will gain even more
Testimonies. The first player with 150 Testimonies "finishes mortality" and is
the winner.
