New Beginning Games

New Beginning Games is the official online store of Redemption Nexus. It is a place to get all your new and used Redemption cards, but it has so much more! - New Beginning Games provides all different kinds of new Redemption cards. We provide booster packs (individual or display box), starter decks and collectors' tins, but we also carry two exclusive starter kits, which come with a starter deck, booster packs, and a whole bunch of extras, at a great price!

- New Beginning Games, in conjunction with the Storehouse project, has a wide selection of gently-used Redemption cards, and are introducing a new feature: themed decks for beginners! These decks are small and comprised of common cards, but can still perform in competitive play, and for only pennies per card!

- New Beginning Games carries Christian board games from Cactus Game Design. These games can be played with the whole family, promote Christian values, and even teach Christian history, but are fun and engaging. Games can honor God without sacrificing quality!

- At New Beginning Games, Christian-themed games are our focus, but they are not the only games on our shleves. We carry select titles which we feel are among the best you will ever play, but are still family-friendly. We have many titles in the popular series Carcassonne and Settlers of Catan, both winners of the Spiel des Jahres award for excellence in game design, and the catalysts for the Cactus adaptations Ark of the Covenant and Settlers of Canaan. We carry many standalone titles as well, including Spiel des Jahres winner Ticket to Ride, Redemption tournament mainstay Robo Rally, and many quality titles from brands like Mayfair and Rio Grande. And we hope to have much more on the way!

- New Beginning Games also strives to provide the accessories you need for your gaming sessions. We currently offer specially-designed deck pouches for card games and similar uses, and a bag of counter stones and dice that can be applied in many different ways, but is tailor-made for Redemption play!

Q: Why "New Beginning Games"?

A: For many reasons, which are all intertwined. First, because salvation and a new life in Christ is a new beginning for all of us. Second, because in my life there have been many trials, setbacks, disappointments, failures. But without fail, everything that has seemed like an ending has in fact been a beginning for something new and better than I had imagined before. Lastly, because this website and this business are themselves a new beginning for me. And on a side note, there is a Redemption card which shares the name.

Q: Why a Celtic cross? After all, you're not Catholic... you're not even Irish!

A: This is all true, and in all honesty I find myself somewhat envious of all things Celtic. Celtic symbolism and imagery, Celtic music, even those cool accents which never graced the tongues of my German forefathers. And the Celtic cross is no exception. The circle which overlays the cross is an unending, unbroken symbol of God's endless and unconditional love. The cross also has a history (or more accurately, a legend) whereby St. Patrick integrates aspects of the Druid culture into Christian living. Along similar lines, I love all kinds of games. And as long as the material is not offensive, I will gladly play games that bring people together, because in the end, bringing people together is the cornerstone of my faith, my philosophy, and hence, my business.

Q: Why don't you sell Monopoly?

A: Monopoly. Destroys. Families. Besides, you already have three copies.
