What is Scythe: Digital Edition?

A turn-based digital board game set in an alternate 1920s Europa, where rival factions compete for territory and power after a major war. In solo or multiplayer matches, you claim land, gather resources, recruit units, build structures, and deploy mechs. Each faction starts with different resources, a location, and a secret objective.

For you if...

  • +you like planning turns around resources and territorial expansion
  • +you want to practice a board game against computer opponents
  • +you enjoy strategy games with different faction starting positions

Not for you if...

  • −you want simple rules with little to learn
