unrest in 1920s Europa. The ashes from the first great war still darken the snow. The capitalistic city-state known simply as “The Factory”, which fueled the war with heavily armored mechs, has closed its doors, drawing the attention of several nearby countries.\n\nScythe is an engine-building game set in a 1920s era, alternate-history. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor. In Scythe, each player controls one of five factions of Eastern Europe, all of which are attempting to earn their fortunes and claim their stakes in the land around the mysterious Factory. Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate monstrous mechs.\n\nEach player begins the game with different resources (power, coins, combat acumen, and popularity), a different starting location, and a hidden goal. Starting positions are specially calibrated to contribute to each faction’s uniqueness and the asymmetrical nature of the game (each faction always starts in the same place). Scythe uses a streamlined action-selection mechanism (no rounds or phases) to keep gameplay moving at a brisk pace and reduce downtime between turns. While there is plenty of direct conflict for players who seek it, there is no player elimination.\n\nScythe gives players almost complete control over their fate. Other than each player’s individual hidden objective card, the only elements of luck or variability are “encounter” cards that players will draw as they interact with the citizens of newly explored lands. Each encounter card provides the player with several options, allowing them to mitigate the luck of the draw through their selection. Combat is also driven by choices, not luck or randomness. Every part of Scythe has an aspect of engine-building to it. Players can upgrade actions to become more efficient, build structures that improve their position on the map, enlist new recruits to enhance character abilities, activate mechs to deter opponents from invading, and expand their borders to reap greater types and quantities of resources. These engine-building aspects create a sense of momentum and progress throughout the game. The order in which players improve their engines adds to the unique feel of each game, even if having played one faction multiple times.","זו תקופה של אי שקט באירופה של שנות ה-20. האפר ממלחמת העולם הראשונה עדיין מכהה את השלג. עיר-המדינה הקפיטליסטית שמכונה פשוט \"המפעל\", שהזינה את המלחמה בעמידי שריון כבדים, סגרה את שעריה ומשכה את תשומת ליבן של כמה מדינות סמוכות.\n\nScythe הוא משחק בניית מנוע שמתרחש בשנות ה-20 בהיסטוריה חלופית. זו תקופה של חקלאות ומלחמה, לבבות שבורים וגלגלי שיניים חלודים, חדשנות ואומץ. ב-Scythe כל שחקן שולט באחת מחמש פלגים של מזרח אירופה, וכולם מנסים להרוויח הון ולתבוע את חלקם באדמות סביב המפעל המסתורי. השחקנים כובשים טריטוריות, מגייסים טירונים, קוצרים משאבים, צוברים כפריים, בונים מבנים ומפעילים רובוטים ענקיים מפלצתיים.\n\nכל שחקן מתחיל את המשחק עם משאבים שונים (כוח, מטבעות, חוכמת קרב ופופולריות), מיקום פתיחה שונה ומטרה נסתרת. עמדות הפתיחה מכוילות במיוחד כדי לתרום לייחודיות של כל פלג ולאופי הא-סימטרי של המשחק (כל פלג מתחיל תמיד באותו מקום). Scythe משתמש במנגנון בחירת פעולה יעיל (בלי סבבים או שלבים) כדי לשמור על קצב משחק מהיר ולצמצם את זמני ההמתנה בין התורות. יש הרבה עימות ישיר לשחקנים שמחפשים אותו, ועם זאת אין הדחת שחקנים.\n\nScythe נותן לשחקנים שליטה כמעט מלאה בגורלם. מלבד קלף המטרה הנסתר של כל שחקן, רכיבי המזל או השונות היחידים הם קלפי \"מפגש\" שהשחקנים שולפים כשהם באינטראקציה עם תושבי אדמות שנחקרו לאחרונה. כל קלף מפגש מציע לשחקן כמה אפשרויות, כך שאפשר לרכך את מזל ההגרלה דרך הבחירה. גם הקרב מונע מבחירות, לא ממזל או אקראיות. בכל חלק ב-Scythe יש היבט של בניית מנוע. השחקנים יכולים לשדרג פעולות כדי שיהיו יעילות יותר, לבנות מבנים שמשפרים את מעמדם במפה, לגייס טירונים כדי לשפר יכולות דמויות, להפעיל רובוטים כדי להרתיע יריבים מלפלוש, ולהרחיב את גבולותיהם כדי לקצור סוגים וכמויות גדולים יותר של משאבים. ההיבטים האלה של בניית מנוע יוצרים תחושה של תנופה והתקדמות לאורך המשחק. הסדר שבו השחקנים משפרים את המנועים שלהם מוסיף לתחושה הייחודית של כל משחק, גם אם שיחקתם כמה פעמים באותו פלג."]
