Do you play the solo version of Wisdom of Solomon and want to increase the game’s difficulty? I have now made a ranking system to allow a player to slowly increase the solo game difficulty! The file can be download here:

The copies of Wisdom of Solomon and Kings of Israel have arrived from China and have been shipped out to US Kickstarter backers! It has been a five month process since the Kickstarter campaign completed but things have gone quite smoothly overall. After they reached our location, somewhere between 200 and 250 boxes were assembled, loaded, and shipped out to everyone who preordered a copy of Wisdom of Solomon or Kings of Israel. The games going to Europe are still on the boat but should reach Germany on November 29th. In the meantime, now that copies are in hand of many more backers, we can start spreading the news directly!
Copies of both Wisdom of Solomon and Kings of Israel are available to purchase at the Funhill Games Shop page. There is an option to buy both for a reduced price and while the games are in stock at our foreign distribution locations reduced shipping is available for many countries. Christmas is coming up and either game makes a great gift! *nudge* *nudge*
Good news everyone! Late last week I got the news that both Wisdom of Solomon and Kings of Israel have finished printing!
That means that we are a bit ahead of schedule, I originally planned for printing to finish sometime late next month. Currently, the shipping companies are working with the printer to deliver their sets of games to the appropriate location. About a pallet of games will be shipped to our distributor in China, another pallet to a distributor in Germany, and the rest of the copies to our location in Wisconsin.
Discounted copies of both games are available to preorder on our website, with reduced shipping costs for anyone outside the US. Those shipping prices will go up after our supplies in China and Germany run out, so please make sure to order before that happens.
In the meantime, artwork is progressing on our next game! The game is currently untitled, but it is a cooperative deductive card game involving the disciples. Players will take turn giving clues to the other players as to what characteristics the cards in their hand have, but character quirks will give everyone problems. Can your team of detectives deduce what disciples are in their hands before time runs up? Find out sometime late 2019! In the meantime, here is some early artwork for the game:
On Friday, we broke $10k in pledges on Kickstarter for our Wisdom of Solomon and Kings of Israel campaign! It is official, both games will be printed later this year! Since Friday, we also have achieved our first Stretch Goal, an exclusive Building Card for Wisdom of Solomon.
If you have not checked out the campaign yet, please do, and thank you for everyone who has supported Funhill Games!
Wisdom of Solomon, a 2-5 worker placement board game set in ancient Israel, is currently being funded on Kickstarter!

At the same time we will printing a second round of copies of Kings of Israel, which has been out-of-print for over a year! Check out the campaign, it will end in under a month:

Review copies of Wisdom of Solomon are finally here! Everything looks great, tonight I work on boxing everything up and getting them out to the reviewers.
There is a real sense of completion having these things in my hand and looking them over. I know Wisdom of Solomon is not officially published yet but it feels close!
Rulebook and art files have been finalized for Wisdom of Solomon and review copy files went out yesterday to be printed. Soon I will have 12 copies ready to ship out to reviewers before our big May 21st Kickstarter campaign start!
Also, Kings of Israel has been out-of-print for about a year, but not for much longer! The second printing of Kings of Israel will coincide with the Kickstarter campaign for our next game, Wisdom of Solomon, which begins May 21st.
In addition, the next printing of Kings of Israel will have a new ability card in it: The Musician! For those of you with the previous version of Kings of Israel, this ability will be available to purchase during the Kickstarter campaign and from the Funhill Games website afterwards.
Wisdom of Solomon is now listed on the Boardgamegeek website! We are that much closer to the Kickstarter campaign, along with a second printing of Kings of Israel. Check it out!
Time to start putting out a few previews to our next game, “Wisdom of Solomon”! Wisdom of Solomon is a worker placement game for 2-5 players taking place in ancient Israel. Here is a preview of some of the Fortune Cards that might be acquired by the players.
