  1. 8 out of 10

    After 3 plays, I am still not sure if this is a great game or not, but I continue to be fascinated by the puzzle it presents and am curious to explore and understand it better. The different guilds and the way people at the table play them ensures a very different economy (meta) in every game. The production is top-notch in every way and makes me want to spend more time with it! Pain Points: The opaqueness of how everything affects each other might be a stumbling block for many and might make the game seem "random" which would be inaccurate. I think if the game did a better job of making the economy just a little more transparent (the app helps a bit), it would go a long way in making players feel in control and make choices more strategically.

  2. 7.5 out of 10

    I didn't really like how difficult it was to increase the price of goods versus how easy it was to decrease them. I also didn't love the unevenness of building the church that some actions were meh and others were wow. And the mines just weren't competitive at all. I don't understand the point of market manipulation when you don't gain a benefit from that manipulation and in fact its typically the players directly after you that will first gain that benefit. I think the hitch in the giddy up here is the fact it takes you three actions to build something. Its hard to create a benefit that only you get when your actions are so clearly telegraphed. It's a decent game but not a great one, I'll wait to see if adding an expansion makes it more compelling.

  3. Played a demo of this at Origins 2023 and had an absolutely wonderful time. Will definitely purchase a copy when it comes available.

Join other ambitious guild leaders in mining and developing the famous City of Silver during its period of rapid economic growth and expansion in the 14th century — from the first discovery of silver near the Cistercian monastery to the construction of Kutná Hora, which quickly became one of the most important cities in central Europe.

Kutná Hora: The City of Silver is a historical city-building Eurogame for 2-4 players that features a real-life supply and demand experience in which every action you take has an impact on the game’s dynamic economic systems.

In each round, players take turns selecting actions from a hand of double-sided cards to engage strategic plans like mining, purchasing plots of land on which to build, gaining permits, raising buildings for their affiliated guilds, gaining profit from their production, and of course working towards the construction of Saint Barbara’s Cathedral.

The asymmetrical nature of each player’s available guilds makes for highly interactive rounds in which each decision impacts the economy and other players in interesting ways as they expand their mines and build infrastructure across a shared board.

Mine ore and smelt it into a fortune of silver for expanding this beautiful historic city, but take care to balance your personal goal advancement with the need to further the city’s growth. Everything is connected, and sometimes the path to personal victory relies on the prosperity of the many.
