Funhill Games

Biblical board games for everyone

Funhill Games was created in 2013 with the goal of being a publisher of fun, Biblically themed games. Since then Funhill Games has published two board games, Kings of Israel and Wisdom of Solomon, and released a video game version of Kings of Israel. Soon we will be releasing our next game, a 2-5 player deduction game called, “Disciple Detective”, along with our first puzzle!

Played our first game of Space Base tonight. Spac

Played our first game of Space Base tonight. Space Base is very similar to the game Machi Koro but with a little more strategy. My boys really enjoyed the game while my daughter wanted it to move a little faster. For our family it can be a little bit slow moving for the type of game it is, but I do like the strategy and everyone rooting for their own dice numbers to come up. Space Base will probably see a bit more playing in the coming weeks!

Tried out Dice Throne (Season 2) with my son this

Tried out Dice Throne (Season 2) with my son this afternoon. Dice Throne is a Yahtzee-ish battle game for two or more players. I was a gunslinger while my son was a samurai who ended up winning the game. Dice Throne took a little longer than I would like for a light dice game, but some of that could be because it was our first time playing it. I am not sure how well it would work out with more players, I could imagine there might be some king making. But my son enjoyed it quite a bit, especially since he won.

Played a game of The Crew: The Quest for Planet Ni

Played a game of The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine tonight...then played another half dozen more. Planet Nine is a really well done trick taking game that is a great introduction for kids to the genre. It's cooperative and slowly scales up in difficulty while telling a story of space exploration that my boys really liked. It is usually hard for me to get a group of people together for a trick taking game, I am looking at you Tichu, but I think it will be very easy to get this game back out. If you want a quick playing cooperative card game that works well with almost all ages, The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine is a probably one of the best games for that.

Broke out Las Vegas for the first time in awhile.

Broke out Las Vegas for the first time in awhile. Las Vegas is a very easy to pick up dice game that can accommodate large amounts of people as long as you keep them moving.

Each turn a player rolls what is left of their dice and places all of one number in an appropriate area. Players who have the most dice for each number get first dibs on the money there but if there is a tie those players are out. It's a great rule that causes a lot of groaning when a player's last dice creates a tie and another player gets a big bill.

Las Vegas, also called Vegas, is a great push-your-luck game for gamers and non-gamers of all types.

Broke out one of the first games I ever bought whe

Broke out one of the first games I ever bought when getting into modern gaming, Bohnanza. Bohnanza is an easy to learn trading game that has, to me, some of the most brilliant simple rules in gaming. Players cannot arrange their hands which forces trades. Brilliant! Players must play the cards they flip over, even if the cards hurt them, unless they trade them away. Brilliant! The back of the cards show a coin and double as a way of keeping score while changing the deck when reshuffling. Brilliant!

Bohnanza is a great game and the kids are enjoying it too. It does not work well with 2 people but I don't think trading games ever work well with 2 anyway. Go try one of Uwe Rosenberg's first great games if you have not already!

Tried a 2-player game of Parks last night. As an avid hiker who does not get out enough I really enjoy the theme. This and Trekking the National Parks board game are my only two games with that kind of theme. Trekking works a little better with younger gamers but Parks has more strategy potential. I want to try Parks with more players since I bet that is where it really shines. #parks #trekkingthenationalparks #keymastergames #hikinggames #familygames

It has been awhile since I have played a race game

It has been awhile since I have played a race game but tonight we played a round of Downforce. Downforce is a racing game with some betting and auctioning involved. It is pretty easy to pick up but we did not properly understand the repercussions of our actions until halfway through the game. It was fun though and our second game will probably play out a bit differently.

My favorite racing game would probably be Formula D, I need to get that to the table with the kids. Anyone else have a favorite racing game?

Game night with our 5-year old so you know Telestrations is going to be brought out. Telestations just works well anytime we have six or more people playing, and the less talent drawing the better. It is a light activity that will produce a lot of laughs. I have to do the reading and writing when it is needed for our youngest but it works out ok. #telestrations #baddrawing #partygames

Played another game where you can teach all of the

Played another game where you can teach all of the rules while shuffling the deck: Point Salad. Point Salad is a quick and easy to pick up set collection game with some nice strategy to dabble in. It also features dual purpose double-sided cards which I always like to see. Bohnanza is another good game that does that, along with our own Disciple Detective. I liked Point Salad a bit, the math is a little too much for younger players but it is easy to get to the table. #pointsalad #aeg #bohnanza #discipledetective #learnwhileyoushuffle #familygames

I have been looking for a Uno killer recently. A short game that you can play basically without needing a rulebook, but has a touch of strategy or interaction to make it enjoyable for older kids. Just Desserts is close to that, you can almost play it without a rulebook and there is a touch of strategy. It's not quite the Uno killer I am searching for but it fills a spot! #looneylabs #justdesserts #norulebook #familygames #unokiller

We are part way through a game of Broom Service.

We are part way through a game of Broom Service. It's a good lighter weight game that involves a bit of guessing of intentions. Guess well and you will get to take powerful actions, do it poorly and you might not do anything at all. The kids were actually ok when they predicted poorly and did nothing because usually there was someone else who did the same. Bonus happiness points if dad was the one who also did poorly. #broomservice #alea #ravensburger #halloweengames #familygames #daddoesnothing

We have been playing a bit of
Zombie Kidz Evolution recently. Zombie Kidz is a great kids game that is engaging for adults. It is a legacy game, so the rules change the more games you play which is a great way to start out kids with just a few rules and ramp up game play as you play it over and over. And our kids love the theme so it works on many levels. #zombiekidzevolution #asmodee #familygames #legacygames

Played On Tour for the first time tonight. It has a bit of a Rolling America feel to it but I like the touring visual quite a bit more. And it makes it more fun when you dump a bad number on a state.

Played Orleans this weekend with one of my boys.

Played Orleans this weekend with one of my boys. Games where you draw tiles or roll dice always seem to feel more satisfactory than deck heavy games. I am not talking about the gameplay part of the game, just the physical connection to the game. That might just be me though. Anyway, Orleans has some fun ways to expand your little empire, and the traveling part of the board reminds me of Macao. As a 2-player game there is less interaction but that is sometimes good with kids. #orleansboardgame #tmggames #tilebuilder

We have been playing a bit of an early version of our next game! It is a card drafting game involving people, places, and things from the Old Testament. We are leaning towards a football card collection theme, working title is "Old Testament Fantasy Draft". #oldtestament #funhillgames #draftinggames #biblegames

Played Wingspan last night, a fun worker placement

Played Wingspan last night, a fun worker placement game with a unique theme. I really enjoy games that are fun, strategic, and will also teach things while playing it, something I try to incorporate in our own Funhill games. There is a lot of bird information and quirks to process in the first game of Wingspan but things click soon after. Wingspan also joins the list of games that contain too many cards for me to shuffle all at once. #wingspan #educationalgames #stonemaiergames #funhillgames #cantshufflethatdeck
