About the game
What you do in a play session
Each turn presents an opportunity for action: you can preach, pray, establish new churches, write inspiring letters, disciple other followers, or even perform impactful miracles. The race to reach the farthest provinces is one path to victory, but not the only one. You can also focus on developing the spiritual gifts you've received, creating unique strategies each game. The board depicts the map of the first missionary journeys, and each card references scripture passages, enriching the experience.
"The Acts" aims to be faithful to the scriptures, but don't worry, you don't need to be a theology expert to enjoy it. The variety of paths to victory ensures that each game is a new journey. Prepare for a strategic adventure that combines worker placement with an inspiring theme, where your decisions will shape the advancement of the gospel.
