Play Vatican The Board Game- Unlock The Secrets How Men Become Pope



I am trying to find out what UK CatholicBloggers think about this whole series of documents that FOR THE GREAT GLORY posted on when I found this on a UK blog.


VATICAN The Board Game-

VATICAN, historically accurate, is more compelling than the depictions of the Catholic Church in popular culture. Reality and truth are always more interesting than fiction.

VATICAN is a fascinating way for all to understand a central point of Catholic identity, and will appeal to a wide variety of audiences, whatever their religious preferences.

VATICAN is sophisticated, filled with nuance that makes replays as enjoyable as the first time you play it. For teachers, it’s a powerful educational tool – for a gathering of friends, it’s a stimulating experience.
