As a gamer and
a Christian it is very difficult to find games on the market that
both play well and are not offensive to my faith. The following
is a list of games I have played. The list will grow longer as time
allows so keep checking back! Check out these following links for
more information or to purchase these games.
Disclaimer:
What you will find here is my opinion. I am not a professional game
critic. I am just an avid board game enthusiast. I am not responsible
for your liking/not liking any game you might purchase because you
read a review of it here.
WARNING:
Because I am reviewing "secular" games, I cannot be held
responsible for the content found on various "secular" gaming pages I have links to here. Not all games and not all comments
at those sites reflect a Christian worldview.
