## About Scythe
Scythe is a 4x board game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a
time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor.

In Scythe, each player represents a character from one of five factions of
Eastern Europa who are attempting to earn their fortune and claim their
faction’s stake in the land around the mysterious Factory. Players conquer
territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build
structures, and activate monstrous mechs.

Each player begins the game with different resources (strength, victory
points, movement capabilities, and popularity), their choice of several
faction-specific abilities, and a hidden goal. Starting positions are
specially calibrated to contribute to each faction’s uniqueness and the
asymmetrical nature of the game.

Scythe gives players almost complete control over their fate. Other than each
player’s individual hidden objective card, the only elements of luck are
encounter cards that players will draw as they interact with the citizens of
newly explored lands and combat cards that give you a temporary boost in
combat. Combat is also driven by choices, not luck or randomness.

Scythe uses a streamlined action-selection mechanism (no rounds or phases) to
keep gameplay moving at a brisk pace and reduce downtime between turns. While
there is plenty of direct conflict, there is no player elimination, nor can
units be killed or destroyed.

Every part of Scythe has an aspect of engine-building to it. Players can
upgrade actions to become more efficient, build structures that improve their
position on the map, enlist new recruits to enhance character abilities,
activate mechs to deter opponents from invading, and expand their borders to
reap greater types and quantities of resources. These engine-building aspects
create a sense of momentum and progress throughout the game. The order in
which players improve their engine adds to the unique feel of each game, even
when playing one faction multiple times.
