Kutna Hora: The City of Silver

Transport yourself to the 14th century and join the ranks of ambitious guild leaders in Kutna Hora: The City of Silver. This historical city-building Eurogame invites you to develop one of the most significant urban centres in Central Europe, following its journey from the initial discovery of silver near a Cistercian monastery to the rise of a thriving economic powerhouse. As you mine and expand, you must navigate the complex social and financial structures of the medieval era, ensuring your guild prospers alongside the city itself. Produced by Czech Games Edition, this title offers a deep, immersive simulation of urban growth and resource management.

At the heart of Kutna Hora is a groundbreaking dynamic economic system that replicates real-life supply and demand. Every action you take—from raising buildings to smelting ore—has a direct impact on the market prices and the wealth of the citizenry. Players use a hand of double-sided cards to select their actions, requiring careful strategic planning to balance mining operations, land acquisition, and the procurement of building permits. Whether you are focused on profit production or contributing to the magnificent construction of Saint Barbara's Cathedral, you will find that every decision ripples through the shared game board, affecting the costs and opportunities for everyone at the table.

The game features an asymmetrical design, with players representing different guilds that possess unique strengths and roles within the city's infrastructure. This creates a highly interactive environment where your personal advancement is inextricably linked to the prosperity of the community. You must smelt your way to a fortune while carefully managing the city's expansion, ensuring that the infrastructure can support your growing empire. Success in Kutna Hora requires a keen eye for timing and a sophisticated understanding of how personal victory often relies on the collective growth of this beautiful, historic city.
