The object is to be the first player/team to collect all four knowledge pieces and ascend into Enlightenment. Answering questions correctly from the four categories (Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and Potpourri) gains knowledge pieces and allows players/teams to continue on. An incorrect answer ends the turn.
"The Ultimate Goal of This Game: Hopefully playing this game has put a more human face on a religion or religions that you did not know much about. Perhaps it inspires you to read more about a particular religion. The internet or your local library is rich with resources on religions of the world. Or perhaps, playing this has made you more tolerant of religions other than your own. If any of these things have happened, my game will be a huge success." - Unnamed Creator (taken from the rules page)
