This is the way to do board game how-to/reviews. Short and sweet!! Well done!

I LOVE the recommendations at the end. SO many reviewers say, "this has been done better elsewhere," without saying where which for me, nullifies the declaration on some level. Thanks!

I like this format a lot. Gonna binge some videos

I love how this video was straight to the point and didn't waste any of our time

Holy mackerel! I can hardly believe how good this video is. You told me *so* much at the perfect pace. You made the video about the *game* rather than about *yourself*. Other reviewers could learn from you. Thank you for such an excellent video.

You’re honestly my favourite channel to see wether I’d like a board game or not. Great job!

I love the straight to the point format. Subscribed!

You are very quickly becoming one of my favorite KZfaq Channels, Tom Vassel will always be my favorite reviewer but I love some of the things you do that he doesn't, like suggesting similar games you may like depending on the mechanics, great job mate.

I love this channel, it is EXACTLY what you need when browsing for new games :D

Such a concise and clear review. Just bought it on Steam yesterday. Thank you so much!

One of my fav games! Love the various options to earn points. Thx for the great review

This was incredible. Great Job!

Thank you for these videos. I've had some medical issues which have caused me to miss work for the past year. I got into this hobby and it has really helped me stay positive and focused on something else. Can't wait to play this one and keep up the great work.

Great video...clear and entertaining to boot!

Great job! Really like this concept.

Loved the recommendations at the end! This is how things should be done

Sounds great, beautiful...and a little bit complex, excellent presentation anyway!

Amazing! Love your videos 👌🙏

Your painted mechs and characters look awesome.

Scythe is one of the best board games ever created, hands down a true masterpiece and classic!

Perfect explanation and review!

Wonderful channel and good video as always, I get that for the full info you need a 15 - 30 minute video but sometimes I just want to know in a very short video how a game works, what it is and so on before delving into one of those larger reviews

Nicely done, thanks.

Thanks great summary

Such a real and dope video.

Nicely concise.

Amazing job! Especially having seen your ‘making of’ video. You invest many hours to save us MANY MANY hours. ❤

I think I just want this to be a comic book

So Scythe, A near perfect hybrid of American games and Eurotrash, or a Frankenstein monster assembled from their parts? Lol sorry I couldn't resist. And didn't realize until I copypasta'd that it was the OP's comment hehe. Great review, super complex lengthy explanations everywhere and you nailed it in 3m? Beautiful. And I'll echo others and say thanks for the recommendations. To answer your clearly non biased question :p I would say yeah, definitely leans more heavily on the euro stuff, which is great for Yankee peeps like me who could never really get into games like Warhammer. Plus the whole clever upgrade system is just sooo cool. It's like a video game but, like, on my table :D

The quality of content in this video is staggering. The measure of ones knowledge and teaching ability is directly related to how quickly and effectively they can get the concept across. 3 mins? Phenomenal. You were so respectful of my time I will be checking out the Lords of Hellas video you made also, smashing both likes, and beating the sh*t out of that subscribe button. Thank you good sir.

Thank you.

Late to the game on this comment but really good video. I love the game referals at the end and why it might not be right for you! A+ 🤘😁

Why is it so difficult to remember that enlisting a recruit gives you a bonus when you take the corresponding action, as well as when either of your neighbours does?

It looks like a more complex Settlers of Catan. =)

Looking g for a one player board game to buy asap for Christmas alone. Looking at this and Evedell. Any recommendations welcome.

Unofficial 5p language dependency meter - should you pick a copy in another language? 2p. Icon/colour/number dependent, 1p text dependent, 0p reading dependent - 1.5 (almost no text) 1p Minimal verbal communication / Full cooperative - 0 1p Available rule book in different languages - 1 1p Zero cultural/political agrresion - 0.5 (fantasy version of real cultures) -1p Multiple modern mechanisms - 1 Final language dependency: 2p May work for experienced board gamers, if everyone can recognise the alphabet, and if there are no heavy cultural tensions.

This is what I like to call a big brain game.

What is the spelling of the two games you recommended at the end? I’m typing based on what it sounds like you said but hard to find results so far.

Having now played Scythe twice, and played solo, I really can appreciate how much you crammed into three minutes. Having only played solo mode, I would love to see a solo video. Which reminds me, it's time to support on Patreon.

What was the first game you recommended at the end?

cant believe i still fast forward this 3 min explanation... btw good to have alternative game at the end...

This was created Into an RTS Its a beatiful game, called IRON HARVEST

Good series of reviews. I see Scythe far more as a Euro with a little bit of safe combat than as a wargame. Eclipse is far more the hybrid, or even TI4. I think the engine building is quite fun & the art is of course superb but not the best thing ever.

So Scythe, A near perfect hybrid of Ameritrash and Euro games, or a Frankenstein monster assembled from their parts?

good post.

This seems so complicated😂

I loved the way you explain the game in gist. I am new to this industry and was research. Was reading the comments below and it seems like gamers have some complaints with this game. I am curious to know what you think about this genre of board/card games: Catan, Scythe, Civilisation...What are the major problems you or you heard people experiencing with these?

Im new to real boardgames, what would you recommend, this or Gloomhaven? thanks!

Are the mechas painted by creators, or did you repaint it yourself? The ones we got are in general faction color.

Is this game can played as 1 player competitively? I like this game but I heard it's not as greatvas mageknight solo player.

👍🏻

What is the first title that you advised at the end?

Objective is to have the most money at the end. Instead you said Victory points while showing the Popularity track. :P

Is the game anything to do with the trilogy of books?

Wait a minute. Doesn’t this board game have a video game based on it? An RTS if I remember correctly

3 Years Ago Iron Harvests Concept Was this

Scythe in 3 minutes, why not explain the history of the world while you're at it ;P this is really well explained however haha, I'm impressed

Do you think this would be a fitting game for a group who loves terraforming mars, heaven and ale, dominion and caverna?

If you can please add subtitles. It will be more helpful than auto generated captions.

you need to graphics indicators such as words, circles when explaining instructions.

Iron harvest !!!

Hi! I'm looking for a new game for my birthday list was wondering if scythe would be fun. My group is fans of games suspenseful games like One-night ultimate werewolf, Clank, Dead of winter, Root, exploding kittens, Pandemic, ticket to ride, and many others, do you think Scythe would work? If not what others would you recommend?

How is that map Europe?? I was interested until I watched gameplay. They need a bigger map with smaller hexes, and a Total War mod that allows Risk style total warfare mode for victory.

Total noob question, this or gloom haven jotl?

So... Civilization but much less complex. Cool. 3 can play at that game.

I’m so confused

"europe"

Played a couple of games and it's just not working for our game group. The lack of interaction is killing the experience for us. Combat hardly occurs, only really because we were bored doing the other stuff. And there's no strategy as far as we can tell, you have to do everything on your board, and the order in which you do it is pretty much irrelevant. We also never had the feeling that we were in competition and racing to the finish ahead of the others. We just did our stuff by ourselves, and then suddenly it's over and no one had a clue who was ahead. Just count the points, and oh I guess you must've won. Very disappointing since the game looked so promising and the art is amazing.

I always believed it was pronounced like "shite"

The 300IQ strat is to set the video speed to 2! Tired of hour long reviews for games you barely know anything about? Try fourty reviews an hour!

Scythe in 3 words...Very Dull Game.
