It is a time of unrest in 1920s Europa. The ashes from the first great war still darken the snow. 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.
Scythe is an engine-building, asymmetric, competitive board game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor.
In Scythe, each player represents a fallen leader attempting to restore their honor and lead their faction to power in Eastern Europa.
Each player begins the game with different resources, their choice of several faction-specific abilities, and a hidden goal. From there, you will attempt to meet your objective and restore your faction to greatness.
Other features of Scythe:
- Choice-driven combat
- Streamlined action-selection mechanism
- No rounds or phases
- No player elimination
- Varied actions such as
- conquer territory
- enlist new recruits
- reap resources
- gain villagers
- build structures
- activate monstrous mechs
