Scythe is a worker placement/economy board game set in an alternate-1920s. Players control one of five factions in Eastern Europe hoping to achieve their personal goals while building around a mysterious city-state only known as “The Factory”. The game does its best to streamline the game and give players more control over their actions, mitigating the luck factor of drawing cards.
