## 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. Each player begins the game with different resources (power, coins, combat acumen, and popularity), a different starting location, and a hidden goal. 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.

Review: Nice coins - Nice coins, a little lighter than I was expecting but not too bad. The only major complaint is they don't really match style between them. One is like a Chinese coin, the 3s are western lettering with a polish kind of feel, the 5s have an almost Russian look. The 10s have viking like runes, 20s are Western lettering with a German flair. It would be nice just to have a matching flavour to them. Overall they are way nicer than using plastic, they make a nice clinking sound when they hit eachother.
Review: Perfect for Scythe! - As advertised, coins are weighty and feel good to handle! Wish more metal coins could be made like these!
