Announcing Kutná Hora: The City of Silver
Smelt precious silver to develop a Medieval royal city and build a beautiful gothic cathedral — with influence and aid from prominent guilds and intrepid miners in Kutná Hora: The City of Silver, our latest upcoming euro from authors Ondřej Bystroň, Petr Čáslava, and Pavel Jarosch.
We love the way this heavyweight city building euro for 2-4 players combines Czech history with a unique dynamic supply and demand economy that shifts throughout the game. Be sure to catch the teaser below and read on for more details!
An asymmetrical city building euro
Did you know that Kutná Hora is a real city in the Czech Republic that you can still visit today? Our new asymmetrical city building euro pays homage to the beautiful architecture and rich history of the region, which is located just an hour outside of Prague.
In the game, you’ll 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.
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 to build on, 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 where each decision impacts the economy and other players in interesting ways as they expand their mines and build infrastructure across a shared board.
Stay tuned!
