Fantastic board game. The digital edition is fun, but unforgiving. I bought it because I enjoy the board game so much and wanted to test myself against other ranked players--it's been fun! The mechanics of the app can be frustrating at times. But overall, would reccommend to anyone who likes strategy games.

After not getting along with playing this IRL (potentially due to tiredness and introversion) I decided to give the video game adaptation a whirl and yep, sorted me right out. I notice people seem to also get frustrated at the layout in the video game just as much as I initially did by the board game; once you've been patient in familiarising yourself with its functions it's brilliant, now I'm comfortable to keep playing and hope to retry the board game ASAP

Scythe is a euro classic in the board game hobby. It has seduced many newcomers and veterans with its beautiful artwork and enticing setting. As somebody who has played the physical version many times, I can safely recommend this digital version that does not feel half-baked compared to other digital releases that have the bare minimum of work put into them. The digital edition of Scythe offers a beautiful board filled with 3d models that can be customized and colored. I wished that the game would go even a few steps further than just representing the physical components but it just does that. The game renders the physical components in a neat way while accompanying you with some classical music to set the mood. What I enjoy so much about the digital version is that it streamlines the book-keeping and it's easier to keep tracks of victory points, resources and the movement of units. The interface does a competent job at displaying all the information required to make informed decisions and plan ahead. You can either engage in PvP or PvE against bots. I personally play with a friend in a FFA setting which works well for us. I haven't played much against others except for my Steam friends so I don't know much about the online community. The bots are super competent and can be adjusted to your skill level. They are a serious challenge and it some time to get a grasp on the game. The game does a bad job at explaining the general game flow so you just need to play a few games to get a feeling for the pace. My biggest gripe is that there are some actions which have not an undo button. Sometimes you commit to actions in an obtuse way where you may have accidently misclicked because the interface can be overly busy. It's hard to describe but some straight forward actions require a lot of input from the player which is odd at times. It doesn't destract to much if you're familiar with the game and played a few times. For instance, if you dedicate your turn to an action which has several sub-steps, you are fully committed to it even if you just wanted to evaluate your options at your disposal. This is really more of an issue if you're not playing that reguarly and are not aware at the full consequences of some actions. Otherwise, I cannot complain much else. The game works fine and seems bugfree, the online elements work just fine and it it is a faithful recreation of the board game. I honestly wish that they would just have animated the gameworld a bit more with various assets, the setting is just so interesting and unique.

Great implementation of the board game with a look and feel very close to the physical product. I found it pretty easy to pick up the UI, the online play seems to work well with the lobby system and the timers and the community has been friendly. A minor gripe with the UI is that it can be a little unforgiving in that certain actions (which don't actually reveal any information) cannot be undone, but I can understand why from a programming perspective those choices have been made that once you enter the next phase of your turn there's no going back (just takes some getting used to if you're an infrequent player)

Scythe is great as a board game and it plays well in the digital version too. This makes it so that I can play scythe with family and friends that don't live nearby.
