Stonemaier Games Scythe | Engine-Building & Area Control Strategy Board Game for Adults and Families

SCYTHE: AN ALTERNATE-HISTORY STRATEGIC GAME

Explore a time of unrest in 1920s Europa, where the ashes from the first great war still darken the snow. The capitalistic city-state, "The Factory," which fueled the war with heavily armored mechs, has closed its doors, drawing the attention of several nearby countries.

Engine-Building Adventure Scythe is an engaging engine-building game set in an alternate-history 1920s period in Eastern Europe. Experience a world of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor.

Diverse Factions and Replays With five different factions and five unique player boards, players can mix and match to enhance replayability. Asymmetric powers keep the game fresh every time.

Quick Turns and Reduced Downtime Scythe uses a streamlined action-selection mechanism, eliminating rounds or phases, to keep gameplay moving at a brisk pace and reduce downtime between turns. Perfect for 1-5 players, with a playtime of 115 minutes.

Low Luck and Randomness Players have almost complete control over their fate. The only elements of luck are "encounter" cards drawn as they interact with citizens of newly explored lands. Additionally, the game includes individual hidden objective cards for added depth.

Beautiful Design and Artwork Designed by Jamey Stegmaier (Viticulture) and illustrated by Jakub Rozalski (Iron Harvest), Scythe offers a richly developed alternate reality with beautiful 1920s+ artwork that immerses you in the world.

Cold War Tension The tension in Scythe is more about the threat of combat than the combat itself. Combat hurts both parties but can also benefit both parties. Popularity is lost when you are the attacker or force a worker to leave, but popularity is gained when making decisions that would gain popularity in a story.

Experience Scythe and dive into a vivid alternate history where strategy and innovation shaped the future.
