RE: Boardgame short review: Scythe
Thanks for the overview. I've read about this game, but never had the opportunity to play. It strikes me as the kind of game that seems overwhelming and takes a while to get the hang of, but once you do, it's not so bad. Plus, the setting is pretty cool; farming and mechs.
That's something I pointed out at the review but maybe didn't stress enough, while the game looks really overwhelming, is actually a lot easier to learn and play than it looks like. I think that the way the board and the action boards are designed makes a lot of things that are kind of hard to explain verbally really obvious once you start playing. Try it if you get the chance, I think you'll be surprised at how "easy" it is (compared to other games of this kind)
