Wisdomantics Game Review and Giveaway

Edie is the winner of the Wisdomantics Game. Thank you all who entered.

Wisdomantics utilizes 2 DVDs which contain 400 multiple-choice questions/proverbs. There is a built-in variable timer which automatically adjusts for 1st, 2nd and final attempt questions. The DVD will grade your response and King Solomon will quote the proverb when you answer correctly.

Finally, the DVD will instruct players when to draw a specialty card which will enable them to navigate the game board.

The game board illustrations chronicle Solomon’s life! They begin with his most notable acts and achievements and end with a divided kingdom through disobedience and rebellion. Hear King Solomon quote his wise biblical truths. The audio-visual element is a huge plus and adds greater depth to the game. Players may also strategize with specialty cards, which can skip or detain opponents, recover lost assets, and provide protection from adverse scenarios. To replicate Solomon’s temple, players receive colored tiles (gold, cypress and cedar) as they navigate the game board. The first player to complete their Solomon’s temple scorecard wins! For 2 to 4 players and ages 12 and up.

 

My Thoughts:

My family loves board games and we get pretty excited over them. As a mom I get even more excited when the game is Biblical based game. So I was real excited when I got a chance to review Wisdomantics by Kingdom Game Enterprises, LLC. At the end of the post you will have an opportunity to win your own Wisdomantics ($29.99).

What's in the box? You will find 2 interactive DVDs which, has 400 questions from the Proverbs, score cards, game board, blessing cards, 4 game pieces, advancement cards, colored tiles in a plastic holder.

 

You will need access to either a computer or DVD player when playing the game. This is an interactive game that you will need both the board game and the DVDS going at the same time.

The game is based of the wisdom of King Solomon and building the temple. The NKJV is used in the scriptures. As you can see from the picture of the game board it kinda of reminds me of the Monopoly game board. The corner of the game is set up like this: Sabbath Start in which you receive 1 tile of choice every time you pass. The next corner is the Praise Report in which you receive 6 blessings cards. Then the dreaded Detention Chambers in which you lose 1 turn. The last corner is Petition A Prayer Request and you get 2 gold tiles.

The places in between the corners are color coded to match the colored tiles which are to represent items needed to build the temple gold, cypress, and cedar with  various pictures of King Solomon and the temple.

The goal when traveling the board is to collect the colored tiles and be the first one to build the temple. You receive tiles by answering or filling in the blanks on scriptures based off of the Proverbs. The questions are multiply choice. You are timed with each question (this is where the DVDs come into play) When you answer the questions King Solomon hands go up into a praise and the DVD instructs you of your reward.

I think that younger children can play this game without any issues. I played this with my 12 and 9 year old. My daughter has special needs and was able to pick it up quickly.

My final thoughts about Wisdomantics Game. This is a family friendly game that is based off scripture and somewhat easy to play if you understand all aspects of the game. I kept expecting more of the game. The multiply choice in the game and just filling in the blanks got a bit bland to me. My kids loved it and have played it several times themselves. My daughter would also write down some of the Proverbs to look up for herself later. That made me real happy as a mom. I would of loved a bit more of Bible Trivia in the Proverbs or for it to get a bit harder or a least an option to go more advanced with the DVDs. I got a bit confused with how to us the blessing cards but we made it work. 

All in all not a bad game as my family did enjoy playing Wisdomantics a lot. My kids would give the game an A+. I would give it a B- as I think it lacks the potential to be a great game for it being just filling in the blanks with the Proverbs. My family will be playing Wisdomantics many times in the future. 

This would make a great family night game or for a youth group game night.
