The Sub-Commission for Youth and School Ministry (Líneas de Fuerza) and the Vocations Office of the Province of Spain have designed "The Cannonball", a fun board game that can help to learn more about the life of Ignatius of Loyola and his conversion. In the Cannonball, the winner is the one who manages to complete his vocation without being tempted or distracted by the evil spirit.

In fact, the Cannonball is inspired by Virus! The most contagious card game by Tranjis Games. This successful game was conceived by three young Spaniards and has been topping the world's most popular games charts for years. Its dynamic is so simple and intuitive that several teachers came up with the idea, practically at the same time, of adapting it to the life of Saint Ignatius. If you want to know how it works, this video explains it:

The cannon is already being distributed in schools, groups, pastoral centres and other places. Now the creators are also making it available to pastoral agents and pastoral collaborators of the Province.
