Episode 110 – Lance Hill from Funhill Games

In this episode I got a chance to sit down with Lance Hill from Funhill games & the designer of Kings of Israel,photo-original a cooperative game set in biblical Israel where prophets try to tell the people they need to turn to God or face judgment.
We’ve mentioned the game before on the podcast and currently mark Kings of Israel as one of a select few biblically themed games that we recommend for quality and fun. That’s why we are happy to have Lance on to talk about Kings of Israel as a board game, as a soon to be on the Steam plantform digital game, and more from Funhill in the future.
