Boardgames
Dear Blog,

Jon and Justin came over last night.

We chatted and caught up with each other and how everything was in our lives. It is good to see everyone going somewhere.

We were suppose to shisha but decided not to do it in the end. In the end, we played boardgames. I had recently bought "Vatican". It is this game about trying to become Pope. Basically, 6 players, all are Cardinals, try to make their way to become pope. Hahaha...you can look at it more as an educational game. It guides the player through the processes that a person becomes pope. But it was made by a secular company, so at the end of the day the game left out the more spiritual aspect of the election but emphasized on the more physical aspects such as popularity, position on issues and support.

I thought that part was interesting because the game depicted stands of the church and the world and how sometimes they agree and disagree. Since the game was secular, it did not take into account the more dogmatic part of the church. It depicted certain unchangeable things like they were changeable, e.g. women priests issue.

I think it would have been fun to play it with people who like a discussion. Could use it as a teaching tool for the kids in St. Mary's.

Anyway, we had fun. It was filled with laughter. We will be doing it again soon.

God Bless!!
