## 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.

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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is solo play?**
A: I won't go as far as saying you should buy this game just for solo play with the "Automa" system, but it is definitely a perk to have. 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.
