Fight, and then farm! Defend, and push those cubes around! Steal, and try to be nice to make your love hearts soar up the popularity track! Welcome to the wonderful alternative reality of 1920+ Scythe, a place where things are not as they seem – like seeing your straightlaced uncle in combat gear. This game is one of contrasts, a landscape of many angles and one where beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Join us to hear our very different opinions on this Stonemaier classic.

Thanks for stopping by for our mechanics & theme board game review of Scythe. We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
