Press Release Body = ‘The Kingdom Game,’ a new product from New Hope Games LLC,
makes Bible study
both informative and entertaining, pointing the way to the Kingdom of God.

Decatur, GA, August 29, 20:04 ‘The Kingdom Game,’ recently launched by New Hope
Games LLC, is an exciting way to teach and study the Bible, creating an educational
yet entertaining atmosphere for players of all ages. Suitable for family nights,
Sunday School classes, Bible study groups and youth training unions, ‘The Kingdom
Game’ is a card game – like ‘Monopoly’ – with a simple set of rules.

“Learning about the Word of the Lord does not have to be painstaking or dull,” says
Ernest Martin, Founder and President of New Hope Games and the inventor of ‘The
Kingdom Game.’ “Indeed, it should be enlightening yet interesting, and ‘The Kingdom
Game’ fills that need, pointing the way to the Kingdom of God without talking down
to its audience.”

Players draw cards from a deck and follow the printed instructions to move around
the board, aiming to win the Crown by being the first into the Kingdom of God.
Landing on a Penalty block involves forfeiture of Miracle or Repent cards or a trip
to the Long Suffering block.

Accompanying players through the game – and a necessary draw to enter the Kingdom –
is the Jesus card, symbolic of Man’s own need of Christ to attain the Kingdom of
God. Other essential concepts such as Sin and Salvation, Prayer, Heaven and Hell all
find expression in ‘The Kingdom Game.’ “My family played ‘The Kingdom Game’ at our
family night,” says Eric of Gospel radio station 97.5 FM. “We learned so much and
had so much fun we made it a regular part of our weekly fellowship.”

Travelling down the road to the Kingdom, players can read the Lord’s Word on their
squares. With a Bible kept handy, ‘The Kingdom Game’ can turn into more than just an
afternoon of board-game entertainment. It can become an instructive process to show
children and young adults the beauty of the Biblical word, to point them towards the
Kingdom of Heaven, and to help them find their own Jesus card in life.

“In this age of moral and ethical decrepitude, when our young minds are being fed a
steady diet of severely compromised values and Godlessness, ‘The Kingdom Game’
invigorates the mind, challenges the “status quo,” strengthens the Faith and
increases Courage,” says Elder R. E. Dean, Assistant Pastor and Bible Study Teacher
at Hayes Faith Temple in Lithonia, Georgia. “I strongly recommend that each home
have ‘The Kingdom Game’, and become familiar with it.”
