For overall “wow factor” Scythe” is still a soft spot for me as it was my introduction to KS and “designer games.”

<div class="md"><p>For me its PARKS.</p>

What is the prettiest board game ever in your opinion?

 Some strictly follow the statistics of mortality from before the age of immortality, while others choose based on who seems ready to be done with life. Others mirror mass tragedies from history, wiping out hundreds of people at a time, but only a few times per year. The book poses many ethical dilemmas that I won't spoil, but the main one is this: How does one person choose when another one should die? I still find myself pondering this question, which is one of the main reasons I loved the book so much, and can't wait to read the next ones. This book is incredibly fast-paced and full of plot twists, which made me order the sequel

Reading "Scythe," the story follows two reluctant teenagers, Citra and Rowan, who are chosen to apprentice a scythe, even though neither of them wants the role. As they begin to understand the intricacies of scythedom, their journeys are complicated by a stipulation: Only one will become a scythe — and their first act will be to glean the other. I'm not the only one who's obsessed with this book. "Scythe" has great reviews — 84% of its nearly 200,000 reviews on Goodreads are 4- and 5-stars — and I couldn't agree more

'Scythe,' a super popular dystopian YA book, is perfect for anyone who loved 'The Hunger Games'

In Scythe, each player represents a fallen leader attempting to restore their honor and lead their faction to power in Eastern Europa. Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate powerful mechs.

Scythe

During a turn, players will choose one of four action areas on their player mat to activate. Each action area of the player mat will have a top-row action and a bottom-row action, both of which are optional to perform.

 An initial taste will help players decide if they want to pursue additional content to see if it improves play at their preferred player count.

 There is one faction that benefits from the encounter cards, but beyond that, they add a bit of luck in a game that doesn’t have much luck in the mix. Their inclusion is a mixed bag—it first highlights and then diminishes the game’s theme.

Scythe Review

 Players are never too far away from one another either. The board implements a tunnel system that all players are free to use. This allows players to move quickly about the board to gain territory and then back to the factory hex in the centre of the board if they choose.

I have not played the solo game of Scythe so I can’t comment on how it plays, or if it’s any good. The two-player game is fine but is a lot less confrontational. In fact, there is rarely a combat situation at all! I think the sweet spot for the game is at four players. Having five or more players would result in too many combats in my opinion

I’ve read in forums online that the game can suffer from players taking too long on turns, which has disengaged and distracted players. I’m lucky enough to be in an analysis paralysis-free game group so I haven’t been a victim of this, but I can see how this can be a problem. If you or a member of your game group has a tendency to overthink a game when too many choices are offered, then the playtime can take a bit longer than previously mentioned.

However, I will stress the importance of the popularity track. Low popularity can prove damaging, as it acts as a multiplier for end game scoring. In my plays of Scythe, that seems to be the only consistent strategy that I use.

Scythe Board Game Review | Board Games | Zatu Games UK

 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. 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.

 The order in which players improve their engine adds to the unique feel of each game, even when playing one faction multiple times.

 Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate monstrous mechs.Each player begins the game with different resources (power, coins, combat acumen, and popularity), a different starting location, and a hidden goal. Starting positions are specially calibrated to contribute to each faction’s uniqueness and the asymmetrical nature of the game (each faction always starts in the same place).Scythe gives players almost complete control over their fate

Scythe - The Nordic Kingdoms - First time posting my work, be gentle :)

[COMC] - Roast me

I am really divided on wether or not to get this game.   
I love the theme, components and overall mechanics (really looking for a cut throat type of game).  
On the offside, my usual group is kind of diverse and some of them (not all) shy away from heavier games.

I would say Scythe is the heavier game I've been able to get them into, and I found the teach to not be a hassle at all  
Is Root worth it for my group?
