Wisdom of Solomon Board Game Review

My impressions with Wisdom of Solomon began before I even opened the box. When I saw the box art, I had a flashback to my childhood and a big, hardbound children's version of Bible Stories that my family owned. I wonder if this was conscious decision? It isn't a style that would pop into my head for putting on a board game box but it has a familiarity; a resonance with those latter day tomes. It took only mere moments during the unboxing for Wisdom of Solomon to reinforce this line from Proverbs “How blessed in the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding.” You see, I opened the box and had a knee-jerk reaction to the shortage tiles. “Wow, these shortage tiles are completely miscut! The text is sliced off and they aren't centered and....Oh, wait. These go on the board and cover/replace the text of the board, matching the map.” Understanding gained.
