Overview:
The first World War has wreaked havoc on Europa in this alternate history board game. A futuristic, capitalistic city-state, The Factory, has supplied weaponized mechs for the Great War. But now, they shutter their doors, and the surrounding territory is up for grabs. You, of course, want to grab it. Each player represents a different, Eastern European faction vying for dominance of the land surrounding The Factory. Players start with different resources (coins, combat ability, charisma/popularity, power) in fixed locations around the map. The starting positions for the factions are static. Each player also starts with one hidden goal, their objective throughout the game.
Luck is a very small factor in Scythe, with the only random elements being the individual objectives dealt at the beginning of the game and the various encounters with the population of the area surrounding The Factory. Combat, too, is driven by player choice, not luck.
Scythe is an engine-building game where players upgrade their empire, increasing the efficiency of each element. Build structures, recruit troops that add different abilities and actions, secure their borders with mechanized vehicles, and expanding their territory to reap more resources.
Scythe is designed for 1-5 players age 14 and up. Playtime will take 90-115 minutes per session.
