Designed for intermediate to advanced players, Scythe offers deep strategic choices with streamlined mechanics, making it a must-have for serious board gamers seeking a rich, social, and replayable experience. ## Description From the manufacturer Scythe In Scythe, each player represents a character from one of five factions of Eastern Europe who are attempting to earn their fortune and claim their faction's stake in the land around the mysterious Factory. Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate monstrous mechs. Designed by Jamey Stegmaier, world building and art by Jakub Rozalski By Stonemaier Games 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 fuelled the war with heavily armoured mechs, has closed its doors, drawing the attention of several nearby countries. Scythe is an engine-building game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valour. Gameplay Scythe uses a streamlined action-selection mechanism to keep gameplay moving at a brisk pace and reduce downtime between turns. While there is plenty of direct conflict for players who seek it, there is no player elimination. Build and Customise These engine-building aspects create a sense of momentum and progress throughout the game. The order in which players improve their engine adds to the unique feel of each game, even when playing one faction multiple times. Each player begins the game with different resources (power, coins, combat acumen, and popularity), a different starting location, and a hidden goal. Includes highly detailed miniatures of the unique factions, characters and mechs Every part of Scythe has an aspect of engine-building to it. Players can upgrade actions to become more efficient, build structures that improve their position on the map, enlist new recruits to enhance character abilities, activate Mechs to deter opponents from invading, and expand their borders to reap greater types and quantities of resources. Starting positions are specially calibrated to contribute to each faction’s uniqueness and the asymmetrical nature of the game. Choose your Path Scythe gives players almost complete control over their fate. The only elements of luck or variability are 'encounter' cards which provide the player with several options, to mitigate the luck of the draw through their selection. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.

It provides a cool way to learn the game and with all the variants available by the publisher online it adds variety for those who can't get a group over for a game night but still want some board games. I haven't tried all the way up to 4 Automas at once but can confirm that it is challenging and adds to an already great game. For me a big part of board games are the friends you play with so excluding the social part lacking Scythe's solo play, or Automa as they call it, is the most in depth and worth while solo variant I have spent time with. (I've only owned two games with such variants and seriously spent time with one of them) **Q: Is solo play played on the computer (after purchasing the tangible game)?** A: Soon played on the game board itself. The game comes.with rules that alllow you to play solo. **Q: Does this item contain any Kickstarter items?** A: No, this is the standard retail edition of Scythe. **Q: Is this game fun with 2 players?** A: That's the beauty of this game: it works at any player number. The strategies you use may change, but fun remains. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by H***L on 21 February 2021* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***T on 17 February 2018* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***N on 24 February 2019* ## Frequently Bought Together - Stonemaier Games: Scythe (Base Game) | an Engine-Building, Area Control Strategy Board Game Set in Dieselpunk 1920s Europe for Adults and Family | 1-5 Players, 115 Mins, Ages 14+ - Stonemaier Games: Scythe: Invaders from Afar Expansion | Add 2 New Factions to Scythe (Base Game) | Increase Scythe Player Count to 7 | 1-7 Players, 140 Mins, Ages 14+ - Stonemaier Games: Metal Coins (Scythe and Expeditions) | Metal Coins to Enhance Your Gameplay | 80 Coins with Unique Colors and Sides for Each Denomination - Values Include 1, 3, 5,10, and 20 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/47940607-scythe](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/47940607-scythe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
