This is an impressive board game. There are a lot of moving parts to win the game, but it is well worth it. I purchased this game for my 12 year for her birthday who loves competition board games. She loves it. The detail and quality of the game is amazing, well made and very well thought out. Highly recommended for advance game players. Only challenge is learning the rules and understanding on your first go... but you get the hang of it once you get started. Love the game so far. Read more

Cool addition Read more

Il gioco è davvero ben fatto, con disegni stupendi. Inizialmente sembra arduo tra pedine, plance e mazzi di carte, ma dopo un paio di partite si imparano per bene le meccaniche lasciando spazio alle più disparate strategie. La variabilità e rigiocabilità è molto alta, merito delle diverse combinazioni di fazioni, plance e strategie adottabili. Nota di merito è la possibilità di giocare anche da soli, sfruttando l'"automa". Ho preso la versione inglese (non pensavo ci fosse anche quella in italiano), ma nel gioco stesso è presente il link per poter accedere ad una cartella dropbox del creatore con i manuali tradotti. Purtroppo non c'è nulla per le carte e le plance, quindi se proprio non digerite l'inglese fate attenzione. Sicuramente prenderò le espansioni. Read more

Behold!! Gaze in amazement, as you have stumbled upon the greatest board game, in all the ages! Prepare yourself to be immersed in a glorious steam-punk reality of endless wonder! You my friend, are about to embark on the intrepid journey that is.... Scythe!! With the expansion pack, choose from 7 different factions, and 7 different game boards to set forth on your quest of glory! Boost your defenses, conquer your surrounding land, and take no prisoners from your enemies! I've currently played well over 100 games of scythe, which probably clocks in close to 150 hours of total game time. I can honestly say it is THE most fun board game I've played, and I'm still not tired of it. Many other board games I will vouch for as being amazing, and I've played them several times over, but at some point, even those games become a little stale, and the gameplay itself becomes boiled down to a science. Such is not the case with scythe. It's got just enough random elements to keep it fresh and new every time you play it, without making it so random that you have no control over the outcome. It's the perfect blend. And now with its most recent expansion "Wind Gambits" the game has evolved anymore. But for newcomers, don't let the expansion intimidate you. I highly recommend playing the base game of Scythe for all it's worth (which is a TON) before worrying about playing with the expansion. I am an avid board gamer, and this is truly a one of a kind game that I have yet to become bored with, and I have yet to dice up into a science. Every single game will have you attempting new strategies, and exploring new options to declare yourself the victor. One of the most exciting parts of Scythe is that when the game ends, rarely will there ever be a distinct winner before the final points have been carefully calculated. There is a Scythe app on iOS and Android that I highly recommend downloading for deciding factions at the beginning of the game, and tallying score at the end. Without going into game play detail (I'll leave that to the rulebook) What I can say is that Scythe is, on the surface, a very complex game, but once you get your feet wet and play it, it really isn't too terrifying to learn. There's only so much you can do per turn, and once you run through it a few times, you begin to see the gears of the game click and turn, and you'll have a well running engine of a faction in no time! If you're just starting out with a group of people who are also new to the game, you're going to have your questions and missteps along the way where you might find you weren't playing certain rules down to their very exact intent, but this is perfectly fine. A lot of the fun in Scythe is discovering all the things you missed, or even may have been doing incorrectly, and changing up your game for the next time. For the most part, Scythe is an incredibly balanced game. If you get into a rhythm of playing with a core group of people, you'll start to realize the few imbalances it has *cough* Industrial Rusviet *cough* and learn to play around them. Again, figuring out what each faction is good at, how to make it work with your unique play mat, and formulate the best plan of attack, are just a few of the things that make Scythe such an immersive and brilliant game that will have you wanting to re-rack the game again and again. Hour and half to two-hour sessions seem like mere minutes when you really start grasp how fun the game is. If I had one gripe about the game, it would be the amount of players that can play. It's nice that Scythe can include 7 players, especially if you have a lot of board-game savvy friends who all want to be included. But be warned! 6 or 7-player games of Scythe tend to drag on, and when that happens, more often than not, one if not more people will lose interest, and thus become unenthused with the game. And nothing kills the fun of a game, like some one who is currently playing the game and not giving a crap about it. So if you have 6 or 7 brave souls willing to stick it out, it's best that all parties involved have a vast knowledge of the game, and indeed the actually WANT to play, knowing full well what they are signing up for. The sweet spot for Scythe, seems to be around the 4-5 player mark. The games are long enough that you don't feel cheated out of an epic board game experience, but short enough that the ADD in your friends doesn't start to show itself, and manifest into playing candy crush on their phones in between turns. Scythe is a massively wonderful game of strategy that I would absolutely suggest to any board game enthusiast looking to play one of the greatest games of all time. If new to board games, I would suggest watching several Scythe tutorials on the internet or playing with some one who has played before and has a good concept of the game. Again, it's complex, but not so much that I would say anyone wanting to learn the game, wouldn't be able to, regardless of their prior knowledge of board games. If you're willing to invest a little time to learn this game, you won't be disappointed!! Read more

Love the expansion options, great additions to an already great game! One warning, this package did not include a few pieces for the new factions (there was a misprint and the factory didn’t include all the pieces for the first print run, apparently - the publisher packaged the extra pieces separately and the seller didn’t include them). I had to contact the publisher and ask for them to send me replacement parts (which they did without question or charge). The expansion is still playable without the missing bits, you can just use pawns and markers from another color. Read more

The pawns were missing. The pie and heart tracker tokens were missing. The tent (brown circle) tokens also missing. Waiting to hear back from Stonemaier. The price of this should be dropped knowing that pieces are missing. Read more

Review después de +4 años de uso (compré el juego en 2020) Increíble juego, excelente calidad de todo: caja, recursos, fichas, cartas, minis. La calidad de producción es una 'carta de amor al arte'. Sin embargo, a pesar de la temática de guerra, el juego tiene muy poco combate ya que es increíblemente caro y arriesgado pelear, la mayoría de los juegos terminan siendo un tipo de guerra fría en el que todos están listos para pelear pero nadie lo hace por el gran costo estratégico. Este es un juego de manejo de recursos y sobre todo, territorio. A pesar de tener tantos componentes, la mecánica de juego es relativamente simple: cada turno solo puedes elegir 1 de 4 posibles tipos de acciones. La caja dice que toma de 90 a 115 minutos, pero es una total mentira, tan solo en acomodar todos los componentes para un juego de 5 jugadores te va a tomar 20-30 minutos. Si tienes jugadores que nunca han jugado el juego y no están familiarizados con juegos de mesa complejos, agrega otros 30-60 minutos de explicarles las reglas. Y ya jugando con todo listo, agrega otras 2 horas. En total te va a tomar almenos 3-4 horas una partida de 5 jugadores donde no todos estén familiarizados con el juego. Read more

O impacto no jogo é enorme, todo jogo se torna diferente, juntando com todas as expansões ficou magnífico. (No caso ainda falta a dos fenris). Recomendo compre scythe e recomende para as pessoas, esse jogo merece continuar expandindo. Read more

This game is great for a family with multiple kids around the same ages. There's multiple different ways a person can win so it's not game over once one person gets ahead in 1 way and increases replayability if you try to win with different victory conditions. Read more

O jogo é maravilhoso de bonito, super bem acabado, veio em perfeito estado! Read more

Le agrega mucha regujabilidad al juego y te ofrece nuevos retos Read more

El juego es muy bueno, muy vistoso y de mucha calidad en sus piezas y componentes. Dedicándole algo de tiempo y unos cuantos tutoriales la mecánica es sencilla. Recomiendo mucho empezarlo a jugar sin pensar tanto para acostumbrarse a la mecánica y recordar que lo importante para hacerlo más ágil es que antes de que un jugador termine su turno, el siguiente ya este haciendo sus movimientos, Esto siempre y cuando no afecte la siguiente jugada (que es lo más común).
