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
