Scythe: Invaders from Afar

Superb boardgame with simple rules, but the more you play it, the more you see the depth of the game and the tactics you can employ to win. One of our favourite games at Lost Ark Games!

Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.

During a game of Carcassonne, players are faced with decisions like: “Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?” or “Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, giving him a hard time to complete their project and score points?” Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.

While empires rise and fall in Eastern Europa, the rest of the world takes notice. Two distant factions, Albion and Togawa, send emissaries to scout the land and employ their own distinct styles of conquering.

This expansion to Scythe, Invaders from Afar, adds 2 new factions. Each faction contains the following:

  • 5 miniatures
  • 31 custom wooden tokens
  • 1 faction mat
  • 4 cardboard tokens

It also includes these components, which allow for Scythe to be played with as many as 7 players:

  • 2 new player mats
  • 6 Automa cards
  • 1 custom plastic insert designed to fit into the expansion box or the original Scythe box.
  • 2 cardboard tokens to replace the Wayfare and Meander abilities in 6-7 player games
  • 1 rulebook
  • 7 cardboard coins ($50)

The expansion works seamlessly with any version of Scythe (i.e., if you have special resource tokens, that’s fine–the expansion doesn’t have any resource tokens, so there’s no conflict).

One Expansion supplied, a copy of the Scythe Main game  is required to use this expansion.
