[Jewish-fluxx] Jewish Booster pack

[Alice Langholt]

Hi Ruth!

Thanks for the warm welcome. Let me know what you think of the Jewish Apples
game. I think your kids are old enough to enjoy the 12+ version, but there
is also a Junior version if you are buying the game for families with
younger players.

 I wrote an article about Jewish games for Associated Content, featuring
Jewish Fluxx - and it can be found here:

Regarding the Jewish Booster pack - first, nice job! It's always nice to see
some "Jewish flavor" added to a game. I hope it's ok if I offer some
feedback on the cards. (If it isn't, please skip the following paragraphs -
:) )

I would say that the only card I don't really like is the Shabbat Goal card,
because "Bread" doesn't really seem to go (of course Challah would be
better, but maybe there would've been a way to put "Challah" in parenthesis
under the word "bread" or else maybe candles and "sleep" -referencing a day
of "rest"?)

Also, the on the Hebrew Knowledge card, one Hebrew word w/ spelling might be
better if it were maybe three Hebrew words with definitions. Spelling is
tough in Hebrew, but it could be more important to know what a word means.

The Judaica Bonus card could also be better if the person got the bonus if
they could name something great about being Jewish. Or if they can point out
a Jewish object in the room. Wearing a Magen David or Chai is ok, but maybe
something else could be a little more...hmm...not sure what word I mean here
- meaningful/impactful/thought provoking---something like that. Otherwise,
it could be a *Jewish Pride Bonus* for wearing a Jewish *symbol* (could be a
mezuzah necklace, menorah, or Hebrew name too), and the Judaica Bonus could
be if they can point out a Jewish object in the room.

Just some thoughts. Hope you don't mind. I do lots of this stuff.

Anyone's comments on my comments would be welcome, and thanks!
Alice
