Redemption Card Game review

Redemption is a Bible-themed collectible card game from Cactus Game Design, a publisher of Christian card and board games. The 5th Edition Starter Decks set, Israel's Deliverance, costs $20.00 on the publisher's site and includes two ready-to-play 56-card decks, so two players can start without buying anything else. Cactus says the set was updated for 2023 and is meant for new players to learn the game, and a QR code on the packaging links to rules, discussion boards and tournament information. It is rated for two players ages 7 and up. Cactus also sells expansion sets such as Israel's Rebellion and Prophecies of Christ, adds a free Priests booster pack to every web order, and ships free on US orders of $40 or more outside Alaska and Hawaii. The catch is the learning curve: deck-building card rules take longer to pick up than trivia or charades, which is why it ranks last for ease of setup.
