Enlighten: The Islamic Board Game (BETA)

Our family played this game several times, it was competitive and enjoyable. We learned new Arabic words, facts from history, Quranic Surahs, and different people from the Seerah. We were unsure about how to initially begin the game; how do we determine who goes first, whether there are teams or individual players. Who is allowed to say skip the card, the questioner or the guesser? Also if a question is skipped and the guesser remembers it during the time duration, are they allowed to go back to it or not?

Beautiful game for the whole family, played with kids 11 and 13. All enjoyed. Gives you an opportunity to learn, think and research topics and words you may not have heard of. 30 seconds is a bit short, maybe increase the time. I like the fact that there are some random topics so kids can play confidently in some areas.

I yhink if you introduce a dice overall it will improve game nothing wrong with slight competition. I think you need another stack of cards that should penalize you so you move back a few places ie questions related to what you should not do questions relating to arrogance, jealously, backbiting, however you would still have to answer question.

Love the game and love that the rules encourage correct adab! My only negative point would be that it’s so difficult - possibly to the point of being inaccessible for a lot of Muslims. But this also makes it educational!

We've played this as a family and it's definitely fun and we're learning at the same time. The playability of the game needs some work though. 30 seconds isn't long enough if playing with children, and the timer actually timed out at 25 seconds vs 30. Easy to work around though. Some of the question categories seem random for what the game is given the linkage to Islam can be little removed unless there is already a good level of knowledge. Maybe linking in some Islamic trivia vs descriptions for some of the categories would work well here, particularly for the history and creation categories. Overall though we enjoyed this, and I think with a bit of work on playability and a tighter link to Islam and Arabic, this could be great.
