About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you're already a fan of Scythe and love adding that extra spice to your games, get ready! This promo pack introduces a new Encounter card, number 40, which will twist your brain (in a good way!). When faced with this unusual situation, you'll have to make choices that can alter the course of your game. Want to reassure a worried young lad? Gain a combat card and popularity. Prefer to make an offering at a wayward chapel? Spend some cash to gain more popularity. Or perhaps you're the type who thinks outside the box and decides to use a dismantled mech as your new home? This will cost popularity but allow you to build a structure. Each choice has its consequences and rewards, adding another layer of strategic decision-making to the already complex world of Scythe. It's the kind of content that makes you think twice before acting, ensuring every game is unique. Perfect for those who want to extend the lifespan of the base game and explore new possibilities without adding too much complexity. A small addition that makes a big difference in the experience!
