Description:

Embark on a journey of conquest and ambition in “Scythe,” an acclaimed board game set in the alternative history of the 1920s. In this tumultuous era of Europa, the capitalistic city-state known as “The Factory,” a significant contributor to the Great War through its production of mighty mechs, has shut its doors, drawing the interest of several factions.

Key Features:

• Rich Narrative Setting: Dive into a beautifully detailed 1920s alternate-history world where agriculture and war coexist with technology and valour.
• Strategic Gameplay: Represent one of five factions, each with unique abilities and starting resources, to strategically expand your empire around the mysterious Factory.
• Engine-Building Mechanics: Every action and decision is part of building your engine, from upgrading actions for efficiency to deploying formidable mechs for defence and influence.
• Dynamic Player Interaction: Engage with the citizens through encounter cards that present multiple options, shaping the story and strategies.
• Asymmetrical Design: Enjoy a balanced yet varied gameplay experience as each faction starts in a fixed location with specific capabilities that influence strategy.
• Minimal Luck Influence: Combat and encounters rely on strategic choices, not luck, ensuring a consistent challenge and replayability.

Scythe is perfect for players who appreciate deep strategy and a rich thematic backdrop. The game challenges participants to think critically and plan ahead, offering an engaging blend of tactical warfare, resource management, and territory expansion. Prepare to lead your faction to victory and carve out a legacy that will change the face of Europa forever.
