5/17/2023 0 Comments Gaia project vs scytheI can only speak for myself, but part of learning Scythe is unlearning what kind of game you think Scythe offers. Eventually, however, it’ll happen and Scythe will reveal itself as approachable, understandable, and maybe just a little overrated. Once you do, it still might be a while - even a whole game - before it all clicks into place for you and your friends. The best way to teach a game is to play it, but with Scythe you’re still going to need a monologue or two before everyone starts taking turns. Like other big, high profile games (I’m thinking of Gloomhaven or Dune or Gaia Project), it is intimidating and expensive and you just know you’ll need to have it down cold before you can even think about bringing friends into the mix to actually play it.Īnd you’re not wrong. The box is big, adorned with beautiful artwork that just screams its own seriousness at you. Board Game Geek has it ranked at number ten right now, and it’s been up around there for a while. It’s one of those games you just see everywhere once you start learning about games. On top of that, you have an intimidating number of different cards to mess with.īut Scythe is also huge in terms of reputation. You will fill that board with four mechs, one main character, up to eight workers, four buildings and a bunch of little wooden resources per player. Physically the board is huge (flip it over to reveal half the map at twice the size - indicating you can purchase the other half and make the game even bigger).
