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.
