Religious

A Religious themed boardgame features elements of their narrative, setting or characters that relates to current belief systems (religions) of the world, either in their historical aspect and its development through time or in their actual objects of faith, like sacred scriptures and articles of doctrine.

Some boardgames categorized as Religious may address particular settings or stories from a religious text, for example The Settlers of Canaan, which is themed around the biblical account of the Israelite's settling of the land of Canaan. Other Religious boardgames may have direct references to scriptures, like the Bible Trivia, or explore aspects of the faith in a playful fashion, like Credo or Intelligent Design vs. Evolution.
