There is no set way of doing things, but obviously the session 
should start with prayer and prayer requests.

Our Akron Group is a bit lax, but I would like us to then move into 
a WordRune practice time.  Pair up and practice reciting them.  
Then the group should get back together and practice their 
TeamRunes.

Instead of waiting until after the game to discuss the lessons 
involved, we discuss them as they come up.  This can cause 
some delay in the game as we throw scriptures and personal 
stories back and forth, but the game is really a vehicle for Bible 
study, so it is okay.

A recap of the lessons at the end of the play session is a good 
idea though.
