Well, we played the game at our women's fellowship meeting. One of the ladies is a serious bible student, She was not happy with the answers or choices the game said should have been made. I reminded her it's just a game. The main focus is to pray and ask God for wisdom before making any decisions or choices.

Our family enjoys playing this game mostly for the discussion and we have even thought of ways to adapt the game to different situations.

We were excited to ge this game, however, it was pretty hard for my ten year old. It really challanges your thinking..which is a good thing!

Game is great for instigating discussion of moral dilemmas, however, as a game...not so fun! This is not a game your child will beg you to play, and some of the situations could match many proverbs. I'd recommend it on sale, but not at full price. Also, I'd say youngest age should be 9 or 10, not 7.

I like the concept of FAMILY CHOICES better than its execution. It motivates families to discuss Biblical solutions to daily questions, so that's good. But the game needs the people of Parker Brothers or some such board game company to iron out its flaws:
- you can only go through the questions so many times before you will start remembering the answers
- the questions don't make it clear if the problem or the solution should match the Proverb
- FAMILY CHOICES seems to reward players whose answers match that of fellow participants, not the answer the game gives
- Those who created this game are not the Creator, so who is to say which Proverb best applies to the questions?
FAMILY CHOICES is a nice idea but needs work. I'd say it's worth buying if you can pick it up on sale or used.

This game doesn't have nearly as many verses as I thought it would. It only gives you 18 verses to use and multiple situations. We lost interest in this game very quickly.
