Scythe: Digital Edition

Scythe: Digital Edition is a strategy game set in an alternate 1920s Europa, several years after the Great War. The conflict has entered a new phase, and powerful Mechs built by the independent city-state of The Factory roam the snowy landscape. You lead one of five factions and seek to make your nation the richest and most powerful in Europa by exploring and conquering territory, enlisting recruits and deploying combat Mechs.

The factions

Choose the Saxony Empire, Crimean Khanate, Rusviet Union, Polania Republic or Nordic Kingdom. Each faction starts with different resources, a different location and a secret objective. Starting positions are set to reinforce each faction’s distinct, asymmetrical play.

Strategy and encounters

You have almost complete control over your fate. Apart from each player’s secret objective card, chance enters through Encounter cards, drawn when players interact with citizens in newly explored lands. Combat is decided by player choice, with no luck or chance involved.

Develop your economy

Improve your construction abilities, build structures that strengthen your position on the map, enlist recruits and activate Mechs to discourage opponents from invading. Expand your borders to gain greater types and quantities of resources. The order in which you develop your economy and technologies shapes each game, even when you play the same faction again.
