Since Bible verses are always being taken out of context, why not make a game of it? This hilarious card game of create-your-own combinations is perfect for families, friends, and small groups—ages 12 and up!

An excuse I would use to get out of going somewhere…



    I am very old. Joshua 23:2

    My breath is offensive. Job 19:17

    My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body. Psalm 38:7



With 70 prompts and 165 Bible verses spread out across 200 cards, The Bible Is Funny Card Game invites players with an abundance of Bible knowledge as well as those with no prior Bible experience to match out-of-context biblical verses with prompts about everyday situations to win the funniest pairing. The verse cards in the deck feature obscure, ludicrous, or downright outrageous Bible verses pulled completely out of their original context. The prompt cards offer fun, contemporary situations into which those Bible verses can be inserted, with topics ranging from family dynamics and dating to popular culture and the workplace. Players can cast lots or go with the Noah (most pets) or Sarah (best laugh) rules to decide who will be the Theologian first, and then begin the battle to see who will earn the most “Treasures in Heaven” (points).

From the creator of The Bible Is Funny podcast and Instagram and suited for Bible enthusiasts and novices alike, this card game will ensure that you never look at an out-of-context Bible verse the same way again!



    PROVEN FAN BASE: The author’s growing fan base (67.5k on Instagram) and the popularity of his The Bible Is Funny Podcast (93.5k downloads) prove that there is an eager interest and following for a product like this.



    UNIQUE, DURABLE, AND PORTABLE FORMAT: This box of 200 cards with a telescoping lid is portable and durable enough to take along in the car on road trips and other outings. Cards are printed on a coated stock that can be wiped clean if spilled on during game night play.



    SIMPLE, VERSATILE GAME FORMAT: Simple game play and optional rules make the game approachable to new players while also offering a fresh experience to seasoned players with each new game.



    FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY: With prompts that are both wholesome and accessible to kids, this game offers a humorous activity for all players ages 12 and up.

    GREAT ICE BREAKER FOR GROUP SETTINGS: Because of its easy and quick game play format, The Bible Is Funny is perfect as an icebreaker activity for youth groups, college bible study groups, and Christian fellowship groups. 



    UNIQUE IN THE MARKET: While the basic format of the game follows those of existing card games in the market, this game’s biblically based and family-friendly approach is decidedly fresh and unique.

Anthony Russo is the creator of The Bible Is Funny Instagram and one half of the duo Isaac Improv, which offers clean comedy content online and at Christian events across the country. A popular comedy performer, Russo grew up memorizing Scripture⁠—partly in his pursuit to understand God’s Word, but probably more so in his pursuit of badges for his Awana vest. In addition to authoring the book Curiosities and (Un)common Sense from the Bible: 60 Devotions, he is an ordained minister and the creative director and director of online ministry at Calvary Church in Clearwater, Florida. He and his wife, Rachael, live in Seminole, Florida, and have two children.
