You've probably seen those killer pics that put giant, smoke-belching robots in places and times they have no business existing. Scythe takes that idea and builds a whole board game around it set in 1920s Europe.
Your goal in Scythe is to take the role of a faction — from frozen Nordics to machine gun-wielding Soviets — and conquer the world in a 4X format. Adding a wrinkle to things, each faction has a secret objective in each playthrough, keeping things fresh.
Oh, and did I mention there are enough mechs here to make any Mechwarrior or Battletech fan gush with oil.
