Scythe

Scythe is a competitve 4x game set in an alternate history 1920s. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor. The ashes from the first great war still darken the snow in 1920s Europa. The capitalistic city-state known simply as "The Factory", which fueled the war with heavily armored mechs, has closed its doors, drawing the attention of several nearby countries. With characters from five factions converging onto a small but highly desired swath of land, who will gain fame and fortune by establishing their empire as the leader of Eastern Europa?

In Scythe, each player represents a fallen leader attempting to restore their honor and lead their faction to power in Eastern Europa. Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate monstrous Mechs. Other than each player's individual hidden objective cards, the only elements of luck are encounter cards that players will draw as they interact with the citizens of newly explored lands and combat cards that give you a temporary boost in combat. Combat is also driven by choices, not luck or randomness. Designed by Jamey Stegmaier, with art and worldbuilding by Jakub Rozalski. Colorblind friendly - 90% languange independent - Approximately 115 minutes of gameplay.

Recommended for 1-5 players, ages 14+.
