Scythe
Scythe is the beloved board game that’s set in an alternate history, specifically the 1920s period. Now available on Steam, the developers, Asmodee Digital, has done an excellent job “porting” the board game into its new digital format, without losing any of its charm (the art is still as incredible as ever) and its fun gameplay. If you’ve always wanted to play Scythe but couldn’t find the players to play it with you, then you might want to check out this digital edition of the game!However, in spite of its tutorial, the game can still be somewhat complicated and hence, difficult to get into. But if you're willing to put in some time and effort, you'll be able to quickly learn the nuances of the game and use your discoveries to form new strategies which you can use against your opponents.
All in all, the digital edition of Scythe is everything a fan of the original board game could have dreamed of in a digital remake. The game retains its charm, its incredibly-fun gameplay, and of course, in time, the “DLCs” too. But even if you have not played the game before, you’ll still want to give Scythe a try if you enjoy strategy board games. It may be a bit difficult to get into at first, but with a bit of patience and effort (during the tutorial), you’ll be up and playing in no time!
