The Board Game of Divine Domination

A new board game called Playing Gods is just what it sounds like. Promoted as the world’s first satirical board game of religious warfare, it makes its US debut at this month’s New York Toy Fair. The game is already on store shelves in Europe.

Two to five players act as “gods” and try to take over the world, making everyone worship him or her. Players can threaten plagues and locusts or promise followers miracles and prosperity. Players pick any god from "Jesus.. to Zeus" or even "Oprah".

The game runs about $40.
