No really, it wasn't a rhetorical question

In Bible Buffet you can play with up to 4 players. The main screen is a kind of board game where you move pieces along in the linear pathway depending on what number you score using the spinner. The spinner also has three items that are not numbers including a smiley face which gives you a key if you land on it, a frowning face which I don't know what it does. There is also a book which if you land on a gives you a pop quiz, except it doesn't actually seem to let you have a quiz of any sort, you just have to do select true or false. A question mark appears to move around the board with you, although wasn't clear what it was. I suspect that this is in the event of one player game the computer plays some sort of opponent. There are several zones along the board corresponding to different food groups. You start in vegetable land, and any square that you land on in this zone takes you to a small to screen level presented in a top-down format where you avoid malicious vegetables and collect the prize vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots etc. You have barrels which you can lay down which explode and you seem to be able to throw some sort of projectile weapon at the creatures. The terminating condition for this game is that you or one of your opponents reached the end of the board. I did not use the term win condition as I assert that even 10 minutes of playing this game, and you have lost more than you would ever gain by a victory over your colleagues.
The music is considerably less derivative than in Wisdom Tree's previous instalment Bible Adventures, and although the graphics seem worse in this game, the level design is slightly more inspired. However I see a complete lack of any sort of religious instruction in this one. The last game was sorely lacking, but at least had themes from the Bible, this one just seems to be some sort of acid trip where you run around giant vegetable gardens being chased by vinaigrette dressings. And I am fairly sure that that didn't actually happen in the Bible.
