48 Parable Cards (12 parables x 4 cards each)


42 Kingdom Cards
10 Oopsie! Cards
12 Parable Summary Cards

Objective Parable Cards


The objective of the
game is to form
complete sets of
Parable Cards. Each
set comprises 4 cards
of the same parable
and is identified by a
colored title bar on the
top-left of the cards. The first player to form 2 complete sets of Parable
Cards wins. (For a 2-4 player game, you may like to increase the wining
objective to 3 complete sets instead of 2.)

Setting Up Parable Summary Cards


Remove the 12 Parable Summary Cards. Shuffle
the remaining cards and place them facedown at
the center of the table. This forms the Draw Pile.

How to Play
Players take turns to play. The youngest player
goes first, and play carries on in a clockwise
direction.
On Your Turn
You must start each turn by taking at least 1 card from the Draw Pile.
If it is a Parable Card or Kingdom Card, place it faceup in front of you.
Parable Cards should be arranged according to their sets while Kingdom
Cards form its own pile. You can have any number of Parable Piles in front
of you.

Parable Pile 1 Parable Pile 2 Kingdom Pile


You can continue to take as many cards as you like, one at a time,
provided you do not get an Oopsie! Card. If you decide to stop taking
cards, you can use your Kingdom Cards or pass the turn to the next player.
Oopsie! Cards Oopsie! Card
If you get an Oopsie! Card, you must discard 3 Kingdom
Cards. If you have fewer than 3 Kingdom Cards, you must
discard Parable Cards to make up the difference. If you have
fewer than 3 cards in total, you must discard them all.
Place these discarded cards together with the Oopsie! Card
faceup in a common Discard Pile at the center of the table.
Your turn ends and the turn passes to the next player.

Using Kingdom Cards


Kingdom Cards can be used during your turn to take another player’s
Parable Card. (If you get an Oopsie! Card, you cannot use your
Kingdom Cards during that turn.) You need 3 Kingdom Cards, each of a
different color, to take 1 Parable
Card from another player’s Parable
Pile. Kingdom Cards used must be
discarded faceup in the common
Discard Pile. The player you are
taking the Parable Card from
must give it up unless it is part
of a completed set. (See below.)
Use 3 different colored Kingdom Cards to
take 1 Parable Card from another player.

You can do this as many times as you like during your turn provided
you have the necessary Kingdom Cards. Once you have used your
Kingdom Cards, you cannot take any more cards from the Draw Pile
until your next turn. When you are done with using your Kingdom
Cards, your turn ends and the turn passes to the next player.

Completed Sets
Completed sets of Parable Cards (4 cards of the same parable) are
considered “safe”. You will not have to discard these cards if you get an
Oopsie! Card, and other players cannot use their Kingdom Cards to
take these cards.

Draw Pile
When there are no more cards left in the Draw Pile, shuffle all the
cards in the Discard Pile to form a new Draw Pile and continue playing.

Optional - Retelling the Parables


After the game, encourage players to retell the parables in their own
words using the illustrations on the cards as a guide. 12 Parable
Summary Cards are provided for your easy reference.
