Cactus Game Design Message Boards

• Board Game Geek assigns a lesser weight to users who rate a a single game to avoid marketing spamming. (Or at least they did back when I was active member there.) If you want your ratings to count, you should rate at least five or six other games.
• EndersGame main complaint was not about Biblical accuracy it was that Redemption CCG lacks respect for Scripture.
• Going down the Bible accuracy route is a problematic framing in my mind.

Thank you all for your feedback. Thanks Mr. Hiatus!

Sean: I completely agree with regard to changing the mind of EndersGame. That is not likely to happen nor is that the intent here. The intent is to have a alternate review that is more up to date and shows up when people search for Redemption on the internet. Saw the comment by The M that you are referring to. Did not notice that in the comments on EndersGame article before. He did a great job!

EmJayBee83: Really helpful to know on how BoardGameGeek weighs articles. I will be sure to make some additional reviews.

Regarding Biblical accuracy vs. lack of Respect for Scripture I would appreciate further details on what you mean by this and exactly why you view the angle I take as being problematic. If you feel it would be better feel free to PM me about this. I want this review to be as helpful as possible so I value your feedback.

Re-reading the article I do see what you mean his focus is on a lack of respect for Scripture. Perhaps I should edit my review to respond more to this direction. The one point it seemed he was saying Redemption is not accurate from a Biblical standpoint is this quote: “This creates some theological problems, for example, the whole notion of having Heroes rescue Lost Souls is problematic - doesn't the Bible teach that redemption is the work of God rather than human heroes? Moreover, is it Biblically accurate to suggest that Evil Characters like Job's Wife play a role in seeking to prevent such Lost Souls from being rescued?” This is a direct quote and seems to me to be questioning the Biblical accuracy of Redemption. This is mostly what I am responding to in my review. What are your thoughts on this? Also what does everyone else think? Do you think I should edit the articles to focus on his point of lack of respect for Scripture or keep it as is focusing on responding to the above quote which seems more focused on Biblical accuracy?

I value everyone’s feedback. The hope is for this review to be as helpful as possible so any additional feedback anyone has both positive or corrective please post!
