New Board Game Enlighten™ Expanding World View in a Fun and Entertaining Way
Much like the popular board game Trivial Pursuit, Enlighten™ is a lively blend of trivia, knowledge and debate. Enlighten™ educates while it entertains, encourages tolerance and fosters understanding of the Worlds many Faith traditions. Players are literally traveling around the globe, learning about different cultures and religions in an educational and entertaining manner.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 14, 2005 -- While religion" is the hottest and most taboo subject being discussed, the new board game, Enlighten™ promises to ease tensions, expand awareness and educate the masses. Enlighten™ is lighting a candle of spiritual diversity and awareness as the world learns to play together.
Christa Reynolds, the games creator, says Enlighten™ is a spiritual journey around the world. Without devaluing your beliefs -or anyone elses - you expand your religious/spiritual perspective." Enlighten™ players agree, "It's extremely fun and educational at the same time. My friends and I have been playing it consistantly since we got it!"
Enlighten™ is thoroughly non-denominational, including facts and rituals from: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, and Islam, as well as Sikhism, Taoism, and Native American traditions. The Greek and Roman, Norse and Egyptian gods get mention, as well as truly ancient (shamanism) and new religious movements.
Were tickled a game like this has been created," says Francesca DiBrito Shuster, with the Council for a Parliament of the Worlds Religions out of Chicago, whose organization also supports inter-faith dialogues.
People are waking up to the impact of faith traditions on politics, economics and world peace-we simply need to know more," says Reynolds. Its like Garrison Keillors story about being raised Lutheran and wondering what the Catholics were up to-only today he might be curious about the Sikhs next door. We need a fun, thought-provoking way to share our beliefs."
So, Reynolds has spent two years researching religious information, developing game strategy and formulating the 550 questions for Enlighten™. Charles Flores, a Ph.D. candidate in East-West Psychology, joined her in question development.
