 and Rated best LDS game of 1995 by The Latter-day Messenger Fair Oaks, California December 1995 "Game allows you to go on a mission without leaving home"
"This is almost as much fun as going on a mission. And a lot less expensive."
"Some converts are harder to baptize than others and require lots of these cards. Then, you could get lucky and get a golden contact, who only needs a little help to be baptized."
"Along the way you get letters from home, have to follow the mission rules, have dogs chase you, get depressed and have to look up a scripture now and then."
"The instructions were a little overwhelming, but once we got the hang of it, the game moved along easily. Another advantage this game has is you can set a time limit so you don't get stuck in that boring endless time warp, like with Monopoly."
"You can play in competition with each other or work as a district or whole mission. Our family all worked together to try to reach our preset mission goal. This was sure nice, because the kids were not fighting about trying to win. It also is a pleasant change from the myriad LDS games that test your knowledge of the scriptures or Church history. This one does have a couple of brain tests, too, but these are more - a scripture chase and a question about mission rules."
"The game actually gives you a good idea about mission life. In fact, you could land on a transfer space and have to give up your golden contact to someone else. It also helps you understand how much love and friendshipping we should be giving our nonmember friends in order to help them see the gospel truth."

"The object of the game, which is geared for ages 5 to adult, is to baptize converts. You get contact cards, which tell about someone the missionaries could baptize if they provide the right things, like love, inspiration, gospel knowledge and member friendshipping. These things are attained in the form of cards by landing on the right spots on the Monopoly-like game board."
