Watch “Kutná Hora ~ Right up our alley, but our feelings are mixed 🤔 | Board Game Review,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by ThinkerThemer on YouTube:
We love learning about new things from board games, and this one taught us all about Kutna Hora, the city of silver! This full review took us a while to articulate - we kept playing it hoping it would evolve or reveal a new layer of strategy and become one of our favourite games, but it didn't quite turn out that way. Just like the economy in this game, our thoughts are in flux. I hope we can give you a good sense of why that is in our video! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for stopping by for our review of Kutna Hora! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.

About Kutná Hora: The City of Silver, from BoardGameGeek:
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.
