  • Scythe is a very polished game, except for... well, the box, map, rule book, AND the ability to barricade your opponent at home until you win the game. In this video we explore all of those and more, answering the question, "Is this still worth playing?"

    11:55 Hmm, I am not sure if I agree with that point. I feel like there is always going to be a balance between iconography and having every single text printed on everything (in this case, the player mat). I can understand the designer's decision where they wanted a bit free space to showcase the art, and the amount of iconography memorization in Scythe isn't really that unreasonable. Unlike Voidfall, now that game was a nightmare in iconography quantity...

      i see your point, beauty trumps the more experienced of a player you become and thus don't need reminders.

    This is such a weird video. A bunch of the criticisms are just nothing burgers lol. I got the very first wave of Scythe, still have it, and we still play it regularly. Theme is fantastic. The rulebook was adequate and only needed slight tweaks. Components were/are great. Action boards are sweet. Gameplay is still better than most games released today. There are some valid criticisms for Scythe, but boy this video ain't it.

I mean I love euro games and before buying it, I was completely prepared that Scythe it's euro game with area control reskin, but it's just boring.
