The Vatican Board Game: How a Priest Becomes a Pope

Look at this amazing board game!

I found in it Amazon.com, and I can't wait to play it!

The general premise of the game is that you start off as a priest and must work you way up to a bishop, then a cardinal, and then hopefully pope!

In my opinion, a good leader of the Church should have a strong moral compass, live a life of heroic virtue, be well-educated, fluent in multiple languages, a persuasive author, a captivating speaker, a good listener, a humanitarian, a peace-maker, and an inspiration to all of us!

I suspect that, in this game, you are presented with real-life decision-making that will either get you closer to or farther away from the papacy, based on those virtues.  And, just as in the real Church, a Conclave is assembled to vote on who is to become the next pope!

The whole game seems like it will be very fun and educational to play!  Michael and I need 4 more people to play.  Anybody interested?
