This week on Current Plays, Jordan and Thomas take the throne in It’s a Wonderful Kingdom, a clever blend of kingdom-building, resource planning, and fantastic use of the “I cut, you pick” card selection. The duo digs into the game’s standout systems—from its escalating resource production to the tricky mind games of offering cards your opponent might want… or might regret.

While not every mechanism reaches legendary heights, there’s still plenty here to enjoy: smooth turns, satisfying engine-building, and just enough bluffing to keep both players second-guessing every choice. It’s a kingdom that may not be perfect, but it’s certainly a wonderful place to spend an evening plotting, planning, and politely sabotaging your fellow ruler.
