Scythe (The Board Game)

Post by Duerer » Wed Jan 20, 2016 4:22 pm

Someone actually made a board game based on a 1920 alt-history scenario. And it looks sick!

They even have printable rules for playtest.

I'm disappointed that this isn't a Shadowscythe board game.

I often feel like the alt history version of myself. Hell, I can see some of my rugged good looks in that little guy. :omnom:

This must be the first game where bear is not associated with Russia...
Looks super-cool though. Is it gonna get published anytime soon?

"Rusviet Union" is one of the worst things I've heard in a while.
