Board Kings vs Scythe
Board Kings
Board Kings is a truly innovative and unique casual game by Jellybutton Games. It puts an amazing twist to the usual "spin the wheel" or "crank the lever" gameplay that games like Pirate Kings and co. use. Instead, the game combines the gameplay with a Monopoly-inspired board game layout, and switched the big "wheel of fortune" out for cards and a dice.The game is more similar to Monopoly than you'd think. In this game, you'll move your character around a path on the board based on the number you get when you roll your dice. As you go, you may land on empty spots where you can then build your own buildings, or you may land on a train tile which allows you to visit (it's no social visit though!) your friends' boards to wreak some havoc by destroying buildings or capturing their landmarks.
Likewise, other players will be able to attack you so you'd want to defend your board with strategically-placed police cars. As you advance through the game, you'll unlock new, differently-themed boards to fill with buildings and defend.
Board Kings is a casual city-building/PvP game like no other, but if you enjoy playing Pirate Kings, Coin Master or any other games from the same genre, you'll definitely enjoy this one!
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!
