Editorial reviews of Kitara
Kitara is a brilliant family game. It provides fantastic components and offers enough strategy to keep all players entertained for the duration. I particularly enjoy the way combat is resolved too. - Read more at Board Game Review UK
Overall we would definitely recommend this game, obviously if you only like heavy complex games perhaps this isn’t for you, but otherwise it’s great fun to play, looks awesome on the table and doesn’t take longer than it needs to! - Read more at S vs J Board Games.
Overall, I think Kitara is a really noble idea. There’s clearly a real passion for the theme which designer Eric B. Vogel has gone to great lengths to explain over various diaries, in the manual and on BoardGameGeek, and the game itself is beautiful and rich to play. The mechanics may not be complex, but there’s enough scope here to enjoy the decisions you make, whilst at the same time newer players will not feel overwhelmed. - Read more at Big Boss Battle

A surprise hit!
Kitara is a fabulous area control/conflict game, however the way in which attacking your enemy reinforces them in another area never makes it feel personal and so this has been a hit in our household! Oh and the components are awesome!
