“I've tried my best to find something to ding Kutnà Hora for, and the best I can think of is how bad I want an insert to streamline setup. Don't listen to the haters, this is my favorite production of the year and an absolute must for fellow economic euro fans.”

“Got a chance to play it and uh quickly changed my mind. Again, this is economic game with simultaneous action selection, which is a nice thing to sort of have the game moving a little quicker, which is always nice.”

“Plenty of Euro games get released every year, but few try to model an economy, however basic. Kutná Hora does it and wraps it up in a medium-weight game that's full of interesting decisions, delivers a ton of fun, and does it in less than two hours. Fantastic stuff.”

“So given that I'm giving this a nine, I think it's an outstanding game. You know, I think it might - I could see where it might become [stale] after a while, but there's so much to this puzzle going on, I don't think I'll get bored with it for a long time.”(27:38)

“I'm quite impressed with the length of play actually for how long this game technically is and the complexity of it, and you know you do so many things in the game, and the satisfaction that it gives you at the end of the day, really, I think an hour is impressive.”(10:41)

“Kutná Hora is good. "Solid," said one player after a three-player game, and I'm inclined to agree with her. Kutná Hora didn't knock my socks off, but I was really impressed with how tight everything feels.”

“As it stands right now, Kutná Hora is a fun and unique experience that tries something new while still finding a connection to the euro design space. Not all elements worked for me, making it feel like it was one more draft away from having staying power.”
