Description
All aboard! Pick your train and start your journey up the tracks to connect with kids at the Loving God and People destination. Yellow cards pose questions containing everyday childhood decision scenarios. Blue cards provide the answer to the question posed and instructions for game piece movement.
Players cheer, groan, laugh, and squeal with excitement as they gain or lose ground on the game board, all while learning practical ways to live out their love for God and people. Players build a warm connection with each other while connecting with God’s love and His plans for us.
How The Game Works
Stay out of Train Repair! If a player has drawn 3 blue cards indicating a “no” answer to loving God and people over the course of their play in the game, they must go backward to the nearest Train Repair or start over back at the Train Station if they’ve not yet passed a Train Repair . All other players say kind words to them to help with their repairs and get them back on their journey.
Grab those shiny coins! If a player lands on a space on the board with a coin, they receive 2 coins of that color: one for themselves and one for another player. The coin is given with a kind word. And they move forward 1-3 bonus spaces, depending on the color of the coin.
Did you land on a triangle track-shifting spot? Wonderful! These shortcut tracks on the board zoom you immediately forward to the circle at the top of the track.
The first player to reach the train connection spot at the top of the playing board wins. And ALL players win as they hear ideas about how to receive and give God’s love in practical ways.
