What is the Parable of the Talents Game?
The Talents game is part of the Parable of the Talents interactive lesson on Sunday Software's Awesome Bible Stories. The Talents game is a "reflection and discussion-starter disguised as a game. 
One or Two players spin an onscreen spinner to advance to their "reward" and win the game. As they advance, the game randomly awards or takes away "talents" from the player in the form of bags of gold -- giving a reason or example of how they have "earned" or "lost" a talent. Each of these onscreen reasons are meant to stimulate discussion. For example, "Why is exercise a kind of stewardship?" and "Why is spending money on foolish things an example of poor stewardship?"
