Scythe

Scythe is an engine-building strategy board game where rival factions race for power across an alternate-history 1920s Europa.

Set in the shadow of The Factory, you lead a fallen leader and their faction as you expand territory, gather resources, recruit allies, and deploy imposing mechs to secure your borders. Turns stay sharp with streamlined action selection—no rounds, no phases—so momentum builds as you upgrade actions and construct structures that make your engine more efficient. Combat is driven by player choices and hidden information rather than dice, and there’s no player elimination. Scythe plays 1–5 players in about 115 minutes and includes dedicated solo rules.
