The Acts

About this board game

The Acts is a 2018 strategy board game for 2–4 players, played in about 90 minutes, in which disciples spread the gospel from Judea across the Roman Empire.

Christ has ascended to Heaven, and the disciples have gathered in Jerusalem awaiting the Holy Spirit. Filled with its power, they begin the great commission: sharing the gospel throughout Judea and onward to the ends of the earth in a race to save souls.

Each turn, players can take part in the work of the early church through actions such as preaching, praying, planting churches, writing letters, discipling others, and performing mighty miracles. You may race to reach the farthest provinces first or shape your approach around the spiritual gifts you have prayed for.

• Spread throughout the Roman Empire from your starting point in Judea.
• Use preaching, prayer, church planting, letters, discipleship, and miracles.
• Choose between racing toward distant provinces and focusing on spiritual gifts.
• Explore a board featuring the map of the first missionary journeys.

With multiple paths to victory, every game can unfold differently. The board presents the setting of the first missionary journeys, while every card highlights a Scripture passage.

The Acts is designed to remain faithful to the Bible while requiring no biblical knowledge to play or enjoy. It offers a thematic journey through the early church for players looking for a game of spreading the gospel, developing a strategy, and competing to reach new provinces.
