I managed to carve out some time this afternoon to play a quick single player game of Scythe versus the Automa. It’s Scythe, Jamey Stegmaier’s Kickstarter success with beautiful artwork and lovely gameplay. Parents need to know that 2017 Michael J. Printz Honor Book Scythe, by Neal Shusterman, is set in a future where most of the human population is immortal but where a few are chosen to die at the hands of mysterious officials known as "scythes. Story-driven Rise of Fenris expansion seems to … good to know. ( Log Out /  When playing solo, you’re in for a game that’s not exciting because you’re thinking whether or not opponents will block or attack you, but how and where they will – because they will. Each faction has its own unique leader and unique set of mechs; the coins feel different from each other and resources are not just cubes but wood in the shape of the resources they represent. I can't recommend ScytheKick enough. And I’m not even talking about the expansions and the upcoming campaign expansion, The Rise of Fenris. If you wanted to learn more about Scythe as a multiplayer game, sorry brah – this here review is solo only. However, since the Automa gains combat resources to complement their aggressive stance, they can put their money where their mouth is. Neighborhoods sound more complicated than they actually are. (-) - Combat is not the most rewarding endeavor. I've tried to solo Scythe but it's hard for me to get through the automa rules :(. Good write up. (-) - The iconography can be a bit much at first. I've thought about taking this one out to play solo. ( Log Out /  Oh I totally get that. Subscribe here to receive notifications whenever I post new content. Lead your mechs to war and your people to victory! 1 Scythe - Revue française (QC) by Monobro Wed Jun 12, 2019 1:41 pm 0: Wed Jun 12, 2019 1:41 pm by Monobro. Scythe was one of the real standout board games of 2016, marrying a strong strategy game engine with Jakub Rozalski’s beautiful and fascinating world of 1920+. You tally up your stars, controlled territory and resources, and score money for each based on your popularity. You explore, you expand, you exploit, and (sometimes) you exterminate. 1. posted 8 years ago. I really like the “scheme shift” that ramped up the difficulty about halfway through the game. I also discovered videogames in the meantime, but there’s something about the tactile feel of cardboard and cards! Even if you win you don’t really feel like you’ve won. What I also like is the additional content. This is because they only get a faction mat, not a player mat. You farm goods, conquer regions and try to win over the people and gain popularity. It baffled me – this wasn’t what I saw in the videos! This mechanic is called an Automa player and debuted in Viticulture, a previous game from Jamey Stegmaier en Stonemaier Games. I didn’t have a ton of time yesterday so I wanted to play something that I was already fairly familiar with. Heck, even the meeples are different for each faction! Can you explain how it works? The automa can teleport it’s units and also treats lakes as normal hexes. “Scythe” is the game I’ve spent many hours playing in the past few weeks, a popular game that reached fame early on, after one of the most successful board game kickstarter campaigns ever. I am sure Gunther will re-establish our faction as one of the world’s greatest. Scythe transports you to an alternate reality in 1920s Europa, one ravaged by the First World War. The game raised about 1.8 million dollars in 23 days and was backed by 17,739 backers. The game is based on the fantastic artwork of Jakub Różalski, which generates an interesting atmosphere of mechs and civilians working and living together. Scythe has been among the top-rated games on BoardGameGeek since its 2016 release thanks to an extremely well-balanced design, very little randomness, and … Explore, extend, exploit and exterminate thanks to your workers and your army of mechs.. I wanted to make sure I could do it on my own. Making decisions, whether good or not-so-nice, gives you a sense of what the world is like. Thanks for the write-up! Once you learn how to read the cards the game flowed very quickly. Scythe is a massively wonderful game of strategy that I would absolutely suggest to any board game enthusiast looking to play one of the greatest games of all time. Most games have this learning curve, so Scythe is not alone in this, but it’s almost like you need to learn a new language with each game you play. If you have every expansion, already blown through Rise of Fenris, and can pretty much sit down and play Scythe without touching the rulebook then this is the product for you. Surely everyone will see this is for the best! Gives me hope that I may get Scythe one day :). My main mode of play is solo nowadays – so I decided to dedicate a blog to it. I’ve actually checked into this but on iOS you have to upgrade to the premium version, then pay for the Automa helper, and then I’d have to pay for the Rise of Fenris content. Those cost resources; you can execute them if you have the required resource. Designer: Jamey Stegmaier The gamer that needs the Scythe Modular Board is the one that plays a LOT of Scythe.

Stegmaier also wants as much people as possible to enjoy every bit of content of Scythe and not make things limited. I looked into ScytheKick but it seemed really kind of expensive for what you get and I wanted to learn how to play without the app first. by Stijnhoofd Fri Jul 12, 2019 11:01 am 7: Thu Aug 1, 2019 7:16 pm by Stijnhoofd.
