“Chuffed with this, looks amazing and easy to get to grips with. Kind of a cross between Risk and Catan. Looking forward to trying the Rise of fenris expansion.”

“Scythe is complicated, there are a lot of moving parts and can seem a little daunting at first, but once you've played your first game it falls into place and is great fun. Would definitely recommend”

“Certainly a game you'll be thinking about for a long time. I bought it purely because of the box artwork. I'm not overly invested in artwork, but the world created inside the box is fantastic, the drawcards are beautiful and the character and mech models are a joy to move around. The setup and learning process is pretty heavy. It will take you at least 2 play throughs to really get the hang of it. Setting up the board takes 10 mins even if you know what you're doing. But it's worth it. There are so many paths to take - you can fight or hide, build structures or hoard supplies, it feels like there are dozens of ways to win the game, and that's what keeps it interesting. The 1 player mode is very interesting but gruellingly tough! I played it 6 or 7 times and only won 3 of those. In a 5 player game with any players who have played it 0-2 times, expect to take at least 1.5 hours, probably 2, and maybe 2.5 hours to play a game! I also have the air gambit and travellers from afar expansions and together these 3 occupy and entire storage chest! If you have several players and get into, the larger map board may be worth is as tiles can end up containing many characters and supplies and get cramped for space. If you are considering this as a battle oriented game think again: Battles are rare. You can win a game without any aggression and even in the most aggressive game you'll be unlikely to see more than 3 battles. This is because battles put a heavy strain on your resources and losing 1 can set you way back, maybe even losing you the whole game. This puts a refreshing stance on territory control where you posture mechs to scare people away even if you have no intention of fighting with them. On the downside is that you'll need a couple of hours and a few geeky friends who are invested enough to enter the world and deal with the set up - this isn't Gloomhaven, but nor is it Pictionary! I consider it to share the title 'best board game I've ever played', alongside a few simpler games in totally different categories.”

“Amazing quality components and one of those games that's easy to pick up but has endless strategic possibilities to uncover. A brilliant game, combining workd building, strategy and combat to great effect.”

“The most strategic game I've played. After learning how to play, you can start getting to know the strategies to use, but still enough variation each time to keep the game fresh. The relative lack of combat prevents it from becoming a war game, which is nice. The artwork and miniatures are beautifully designed - the cat approves too!”

“Amazingly high quality game. Scythe is unlike pretty much any other game out there. Great fun to play as a group or solo. The solo player mode has had a great deal of thought put into it. So good I made a review about it! https://youtu.be/8Xjmsgvyh58”
