The game immediately ends when one player has completed all of their goals. Įach player is given six stars, which are placed on their player boards when they complete specific goals, such as deploying all four of their mechs. The actions themselves may also be upgraded, making them either less costly to enact or stronger when deployed. Actions allow players to move units on the board, trade for or produce good, bolster their military for combat, deploy mechs, enlist recruits for continuous bonuses, build structures. They may also take a corresponding second action as listed on their player board. Each action is listed on the top of a personal player board, and players cannot take the same action in consecutive turns. Players build an economic engine by selecting one of four main actions each turn. Players represent different factions seeking their fortune in the redeveloping landscape. Scythe takes place in an alternate history version of 1920s Europe that is recovering from the effects of a great war.
Three major expansions and several spin-offs have been released for the game. Scythe was released to critical and commercial acclaim, with praise for its gameplay, combination of Eurogame and combat mechanics, theme, and the game's artwork, which was produced by Polish painter Jakub Różalski under the name World of 1920+. Stonemaier Games crowdfunded the development of Scythe, raising over $1.8 million through a Kickstarter campaign. At this point, the players receive coins for the achievements they have attained and the territories they control, and the player with the most coins is declared the winner. Players take up to two actions per turn using individual player boards, and the game proceeds until one player has earned six achievements. Set in an alternate history version of 1920s Europe, players control factions that produce resources, develop economic infrastructure, and use dieselpunk war machines, called "mechs", to engage in combat and control territories. Scythe is a board game for one to five players designed by Jamey Stegmaier and published by Stonemaier Games in 2016.
