Question 1

How do you keep track of pawn placement on the board game from week to week?

Accepted Answer

Use the score sheets to track weekly progress. Note player pawn assignments (with initials), mark the pawn colors on the board layout, and date each score sheet.

Question 2

Is the game administrator allowed to play the game?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The person leading the group can participate as a player as well.

Question 3

What happens if I don’t remember my scripture?

Accepted Answer

If someone hasn’t learned their scripture, the group leader can decide whether they participate in gameplay for that session. Many groups set clear rules and allow limited “passes” while encouraging commitment.

Question 4

What should we do with used scripture cards?

Accepted Answer

Keep used scripture cards separate from unused cards. Store unused cards in the tuckboxes and place used cards in a separate stack or area.

Question 5

When playing with teenagers, it’s difficult to get them to share during discussion. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Prepare open-ended questions ahead of time for each teen’s scripture. This extra preparation usually leads to stronger and more meaningful discussion.

Question 6

As the game administrator, are there other ways to maximize the game experience?

Accepted Answer

Watch for themes across weekly scriptures and use them to guide group discussions (for example: baptism, tithing, evangelism, and other lifestyle topics).

Question 7

What’s coming next?

Accepted Answer

Planned items include the RHEMAin Journal and scripture card expansion packs such as Wisdom, Discipleship, and a Spiritual Warfare pack.

Question 8

What happens if a player forgets to record the scripture pulled during gameplay?

Accepted Answer

Record the scripture immediately by writing it down or taking a photo. Some groups provide blank cards for quick notes, and the RHEMAin Field Journal is designed to help with this.

Question 9

Where do you ship?

Accepted Answer

Shipping is currently available within the United States, with plans to expand internationally in the future.

Question 10

Is the purpose of the RHEMAin game to simply memorize scripture?

Accepted Answer

Not only memorization. The focus is understanding context and applying wisdom first—who wrote it, who it was for, why it was written, and how it applies today—then memorizing.

Question 11

How do you handle refunds, returns, and exchanges?

Accepted Answer

If items arrive damaged, contact support by email and replacement parts can be provided.

Question 12

How long does it take to complete a game?

Accepted Answer

For a group of around 10 players, the game may take about 8–10 weeks to complete, depending on your meeting schedule.

Question 13

What translation did you use in the game development?

Accepted Answer

The game was developed using the NIV translation, but groups can use another translation as long as everyone agrees on which one is being used.
