Mission of Souls

Mission of Souls is a card game currently in development that will teach Biblical philosphy to overcome sin, become a missionary and win souls for God's Kingdom.

Part 1 - Put On the Armor of God

Determine who starts through a tie-breaker draw (players draw a card from any deck. In order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, the closest to violet is deemed the winner), and have them pray the starting prayer and either go first or select who goes first with the remaining order going in a clockwise direction.

Each player starts with each of the seven sin cards:



Place decks of virtue, fruit and devotion cards in the middle of the play area. They will containing corresponding cards to match each sin cards.

For each turn, a player takes one card from each deck. If they have three matching-coloured cards from each deck, the matching sin card is removed with the matching cards and the matching armor of God card is obtained.

The following are their matchng sets:









Gameplay resumes until a player has obtained all seven armor cards.

The first person to do so is ranked first for the next phase of the game, and the remaining players play for second, third and any consecutive ranks.

Trading: Players may only trade cards that match a piece of armor they have already obtained. To trade, present a request to all qualified players. If two or more players are eligible to trade, they are to do a tie-breaker draw to determine who gets to trade.

Part 2 - Mission of Souls

Setup:

Remove the fruit, virtue and armor card decks from the play area.

Mix the devotion card deck with a small amount of each of the sin cards and keep it in the middle of the play area.

Set aside a number of each of the resource cards as a resources bank for purchasing.

Place the resource card deck in the middle of the play area along with the souls, gold, tithe and soldier card decks. Bring out and set aside the buildings/ministries decks.

Each player starts with two soldier cards, a bibles card, a land card, seven random cards off the newly formed devotion/sin card deck, and a number of resource cards based on their rank from part 1.



Each turn represents the timespan of a week. For the starting two soldier cards, at the start of each turn pick up that many resource cards, symbolising the soldiers going into the community to collect donations.



At the beginning of each turn, each player will also receive a gold card, symbolising their home church supporting them in their mission. As the game goes on, for each soul that a player has collected they will receive a tithe card at the beginning of each turn, symbolising the members of their church tithing. Ten tithe cards can be traded for a gold card.

Soldier Training:

The seven random devotion cards are for the training of a new soldier. One of each of the devotion cards is needed to train a new soldier. At the start of each turn, if a player does not have all seven devotion cards, they must turn in one unneeded card for a random card off the top of the deck.

Mixed into the devotion card deck are random sin cards. If a sin card is pulled, the player must have the matching devotion card to get rid of it before collecting any other needed card. If they have the matching card in their hand, it is discarded with the sin card, and they will be down to five cards and must wait until the next turn to get a new card. If the player does not have the matching devotion card they must wait until their next turn to pull a card from the top of the devotions/sin deck, and if it is not the matching devotion card, place it in the discard pile. While a sin card is in a player’s hand, no needed devotion cards may be collected until the turn after the sin-matching devotion card is found.

At the start of each turn:

  • Collect and discard a card from the devotion/sin deck. If all seven devotion cards are acquired, turn them in for a soldier card and then collect seven more random cards from the devotion/sin deck.
  • Collect one gold card, plus any additional from building/ministry bonuses.
  • Count your soul amount and collect that many tithe cards.
  • Collect two resource cards plus any additional from building/ministry bonuses.
  • Collect two soul cards, plus any additional soul cards based on the bonuses of what has been built.
  • Pay all building/ministry expenses.
  • Build or end your turn.
