Here is a very rough rule set typed out (probably lots of typos and not yet formatted)
Rules
Object of the game: Walk through life and reach the cross at the end that says, “Well done good and faithful servant.”
To start put your playing piece on the start sun. roll the die and move. When you land on a space draw a card.
Cards:
The cards can be a habit that is stackable - prayer, going to church and reading the Bible. Possessing one or more of these will allow you reroll the die ONCE if you have an unfavorable outcome.
There are Whispers of the Serpent cards- you get too tired; break a habit. You get too busy; break a habit. These will discard a prayer, go to church or read the Bible card.
There are Temptation cards; these cards will have you roll a die. If you get an even number you resisted the temptation! Stay on the Righteous Way. If you roll an odd number you succumb to the sin and find the nearest needle. Place your piece on the serpent’s path and place the piece with a tear drop location marker on the spot you were on the righteous way before you fell to temptation.
Falling to temptation moves your stat sheet down by 1 on the corresponding stat.
Types of Sins:
Sin Influences To Fix it
Hate - Temper - Forgiveness
Lies- Self Image - truth
Pride- Empathy - humility
Steal- Morality- return item
Idols- Spirituality- spend time with God
Hold onto the temptation card. If you fall on the same sin twice then you start to develop a stronghold. It requires resisting it twice to stay on the righteous way in the future. Alternatively if I resist a temptation in the same category twice I get a lack of interest meaning I get an extra roll if I start to succumb to the temptation.
In Example: I succumbed to PRIDE twice. I then take a Pride Stronghold marker. And put it in front of me. When I deal with PRIDE again, if I roll an odd number I instantly succumb. But if I roll an even number I MUST reroll a second time to see if I truly resisted as I have a taste for it. If I roll an even number on the second roll then I resisted. If I roll an odd number on the second roll then I thought twice and succumbed anyway.
(note: if I have any of the HABIT CARDS I can use it to try and resist one extra time. So I can roll up to 3 times on any un-desirable outcome)
Controversy: If I resisted THEFT TWICE I can take a THEFT RESISTANCE TOKEN. Thus the next time I draw THEFT, if I roll an even number I resist it and stay on Righteousness Way. If I roll an odd number, I get to reroll to see if I thought better of it and decided to resist it after all.
(note: if I have any of the HABIT CARDS I can use it with the RESISTANCE to THEFT TOKEN then I can roll up to 3 times on any un-desirable outcome)
Getting back to Righteousness Way
Once on the Serpent's Path you roll the die and travel forever in circles, until you meet one of 3 conditions to return to Righteous Way. (4 ways with expansion pack)
Option 1: You roll the number on the snake you are standing on. IE If I’m standing on a 1 and I roll the 1 I may return to where I left off on Righteous Way.
Option 2: You resist the same kind of sin that sent you there. I fell to Idolity, so when I resist Idolity I may return to where I left off on Righteous Way.
Option 3: You draw the card to correct the initial sin. IE I succumbed to Idolity that made me lose spirituality. Then on the Serpent's path I drew to spend time with God to restore Spirituality. I may return to where I left off on Righteous Way.
(Expansion Play Only) Option 4: Clearing my heart of built up Sin returns me to Righteous Way - BUT I go up the closest needle.
(If I succumbed to multiple sins while in the serpent’s path, I will have to correct or resist each kind once to return to the Righteous way. HOWEVER, if I have a prayed for card I can use it to take care of 1 additional sin per prayed for card I use).
Expansion- Fight for the Heart
Each player takes a white heart. As you succumb to sin, you add a black puzzle piece to the heart and play the game as usual.
To cleanse the heart you need either a prayed for card, or a Convicted by the Holy Spirit card followed by a Prayed for Restoration card. This cleans the heart back to white and immediately puts you back on the Righteousness Way.
Winning- Make it to the cross on Righteousness way. Well done Good and Faithful Servant.
