Author's comments
I accept the "Roman Cross icon" at the top of this page as an indication of the game's religious content, but must also note the irony in choosing that symbol for describing this particular game. "Pascal's Wager" (the game) is largely about Pascal's conceit in disregarding the possible existence of non-Christian gods.
Thanks to all who played!
