SATIRE: New Adventist Board Game “Sabbath Loopholes” Becomes Overnight Sensation
In a surprising turn of events, a new board game called “Sabbath Loopholes” has taken the Adventist world by storm, selling out in record time at ABC stores across the globe.
The game challenges players to navigate increasingly complex Sabbath scenarios while finding creative ways to reason through their actions.
“We wanted to make Sabbath discussions more fun,” said game designer Sarah Lawkeeper. “Plus, it’s a great way to sort arbitrary rules from substance!”
The game features cards with scenarios such as:
– Your favorite football team is in the Super Bowl
– You forgot to buy toilet paper on Friday
– The potluck line is moving too slowly and you’re starving
Players must then use “loophole cards” to argue their case, with options such as:
– “It’s still Friday in Alaska”
– “Jesus would totally do this”
– “It’s a mission opportunity”
The winner is determined by a panel of “church elders” (other players) who judge which explanation is the most convincing.
Critics argue the game promotes a lax attitude towards Sabbath-keeping, but supporters claim it’s all based on real life and forces you to think.
“Besides,” added Lawkeeper, “we’re donating 10% of profits to the church. That makes it okay, right?”
