Review: Amazing Game! - I already own Wingspan so was super eager to invest in more Stonemaier games, and this was on my wish list for a while. It was an excellent purchase. The artwork is stunning, the board and all the cards are exceptional quality/feel. You are paying for the brand and the quality. It’s not easy to learn- had to watch a couple of YouTube videos along the way as sometimes the instructions were heavy going/hard to visualise or understand what was meant to occur. But after the 2nd play through it suddenly clicked and became more enjoyable rather than a scramble of un-knowingness. The turn structure is similar to wingspan so if you have already played this- it will be easier to pick up and learn. I love the character variations and different abilities and the ways in which you can play the game. Looking forward to purchasing some expansions to add more depth to the game. Also: don’t be overwhelmed by the amount of items/cards/meeples you have to set up the game. It looks a lot but it is easy to pick up and learn what goes where.
Review: This game draws you in, eventually. - First of all, I'm a 58 year old Modeller/Wargamer, in the past playing 20mm WW2, D&D and later Warhammer fantasy when the kids got older (I also had Steve Jackson's original edition of OGRE, long lost during house moves). In the last 10 or so years I have gotten back into gaming, Axis and Allies Naval and Air Miniatures, X-Wing Miniatures. Also Munchkin, which my wife loves! So what made me buy this game? Well, obviously the production is superb, Jakub Rozalski's artwork is stunning. I like the 'alternative' history style of setting for the game, and the fact it had a set of rules for solo play. It is worth looking at 'Lines42' Automa tutorial on YouTube, as well as his tutorial for the game itself. First thing you notice is the box is hefty, full to the brim of quality components. Unwrapping all the card and unpunching all the counters takes a while. The playing Board is good quality and warp free, always a good sign. This game at first seems very complicated, but it's not, just very involved, with a lot of aspects to the play. It takes a while to set up, even in 'Solo mode', but once you pick through the various rules it plays fairly quickly, but it does take time to remember EVERYTHING you have to resolve and be aware of, whilst playing. I won't go into the gameplay because there are a wealth of videos online. I'm just going to say that, once you pick up the movement rules for the 'Automa' player (that is, your game driven opponent) this is a satisfying game, even though I haven't beaten it yet, and that's on the easy setting! Tactics and strategy is the key here, something I have yet to master, but this game will entertain those who only play once in a while and appreciate quality. Buy it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is solo play?**
A: I won't go as far as saying you should buy this game just for solo play with the "Automa" system, but it is definitely a perk to have. It provides a cool way to learn the game and with all the variants available by the publisher online it adds variety for those who can't get a group over for a game night but still want some board games.  I haven't tried all the way up to 4 Automas at once but can confirm that it is challenging and adds to an already great game. For me a big part of board games are the friends you play with so excluding the social part lacking Scythe's solo play, or Automa as they call it, is the most in depth and worth while solo variant I have spent time with.  (I've only owned two games with such variants and seriously spent time with one of them)

**Q: Is solo play played on the computer (after purchasing the tangible game)?**
A: Soon played on the game board itself. The game comes.with rules that alllow you to play solo.

**Q: Does this item contain any Kickstarter items?**
A: No, this is the standard retail edition of Scythe.

**Q: Is this game fun with 2 players?**
A: That's the beauty of this game: it works at any player number. The strategies you use may change, but fun remains.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An enjoyable and stimulating game for intermediate to advanced board-gamers
*by B***T on 17 February 2018*

A brilliant game, providing hours of enjoyment for anyone who enjoys strategy and/or resource management games. This game is filled with mechanics which, on there own, are quite simple. However, together they form a complex system, which must be considered carefully to maximise your efficacy on the board. direct player interaction is limited but meaningful, with each encounter playing an important role in the game as a whole. Although the rules may seem labyrinthine to begin with, I found that after one playthrough and a little guidance, most of my friends and family members have been able to work out how to play, and have needed no/little help in subsequent games. The look and feel of the game is excellent, with amazing artwork, miniatures and resources. The cards are all appropriately sized, and the cardboard tokens are robust. The amount of coins in higher denominations seems unnecessarily large for regular gameplay, however if you like to use them to keep track of score at the end then they are very useful. If I had one criticism, it would be that there are too many different game mechanics and one or two could be removed to make a more streamlined game. On the whole, this is an excellent board game, providing a strategic challenge with the minimum (but very enjoyable) amount of randomness.
