Description

Kings of Israel is a cooperative board game where 2 to 4 players work together as prophets to save the Northern Kingdom of Israel from destruction. The game takes place during the reign of Israel's kings, and players must remove evil and idols while building altars to guide Israel through difficult times. With easy-to-learn rules, players can quickly dive into the game, which typically lasts around 45 minutes. As players navigate the game, they'll experience different phases, including the King's Godliness Phase, where the king's actions can either bless or punish the players, and the Prophets Work Phase, where each player uses action points to move, remove sin or idols, and build altars. The game requires strategic hand management, set collection, and point-to-point movement, making it an engaging and challenging experience. Will the prophets succeed in building enough altars to win, or will Assyria destroy Israel, ending the game in defeat?
