Scythe is a new 1 – 5 player board game currently on Kickstarter. The game has been designed by Jamey Stegmaier (Viticulture & Euphoria) and has been based on the Jakub Rozalski’s art. It already smashed it’s funding goal. Check out the Kickstarter video below.

Create an empire with monstrous mechs and industrious workers in this alternate-history, 115-minute board game for 1-5 competitors.

Scythe is set in an early 1920’s Eastern Europe and follows an alternate history. 5 factions compete for an area of land surrounding a mysterious factory. The game mechanics include exploring, expanding, exploiting and exterminating actions. Pledges start at $59 and you can do so here.
