It’s More Than a Game—It’s a Journey!
True! Life! Game is a card game where up to five ordinary every day people get together and tell about their:
- Recently answered prayers
- Opportunities that have opened up for them
- Accidents that almost happened but didn't
- Problems that God's Word has helped solve
Just any of the little and big things that happen every day that we sometimes forget to recognize are things the Lord is doing for us just because He loves us and is actually present and active in our lives everyday!
The game uses cards to prompt players to remember and tell about these different kinds of recent personal experiences they have had with the Lord.
There are two versions of the game, Single-Card and Full Deck. Both versions use the same game cards.
Single-Card
The Single-Card version is completely "player's choice" and can be played by one person alone or by up to five people in a group.
- One each of the 13 instruction cards
- One Card instructions sheet
1-4 Players
Players choose the one or two cards that they want to play
This version is great for personal devotions time or for a coffee or breakfast or lunch meeting with one or two friends.
Full-Deck
The Full-Deck version includes an element of chance in what eah player will be directed to tell about and should be played by three to five people in a group.
- Three each of the 13 instruction cards
- 10 "Player's Choice" cards
- 10 "Pass" cards
- 10 Card instruction sheets
- One Game Instructions sheet that includes descriptions of variations of "ways to play"
3-5 Players
Players must play three cards they either draw or are dealt from a 49-card deck that includes ten “Player’s Choice” cards. Each player also gets one “PASS” card so that they may choose to play only twice during the game
If more than five people are present to play they should be divided into sub-groups of three to five people each so that no one has to wait too long for their next turn.
From 60-90 minutes, or however long you want!
