Hi Jason. As one of the Automa Factory designers, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to review our Automa for Scythe. It was quite a thrill to see this pop up under my KZfaq Feed. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed our work!

Thank very much for the review, Jason, I'm very happy to hear that Scythe Automa has made you interested in trying more solo games. That's just about the most satisfying praise our work can get :-)

Says "Automata" then shows us on the cover where it says "Automa"...

Great review Jason. I've really been enjoying solo scythe and I don't normally play games solo.

Good job. I appreciated getting a non-solo player’s perspective on the solo option.

Super clear overview of the rules thanks Jason!

I enjoyed this review, I look forward to more from this contributor.

Thanks for the review. played my first PvP game last night, way off with the tactics and so am going the Automa will give me a chance to hone then a little before the next outing!

You keep saying "Automatta", but isn't the A.I. just generally referred to as the Automa? (Auto-muh)

Thanks for the review. You cleared up a couple of finer points about the automa play that I didn't quite understand before. When the automa is in combat, does it get the same consequences of the combat as a human player? i.e. loss of popularity for driving off workers and gaining combat cards if is loses Also, does it gain stars for completing objectives such as place all mechs or workers?

Nice video. I only found some "irregularities" in the volume. I mean it went up and down a bit.

I'm still confused on the player scoring of resources at the end. It says it is capped at 6 per territory. Is this referring to a total of six individual resource tokens in the territory or just 6 points max in a territory no matter how many resources there are? To be clear I understand that territories are scored separately from resources.

i enjoyed playing vs the autometa so much i played 3 more games against it throughout the week during my WFH lunch breaks.

This is very familiar. Wasn't this review already posted days ago? Still, good review. Hope to see more of you. 👍

This is my only game I have played solo, only because nobody has been around to play it and I like the standard game so much. The good about it... You really have to sit and think about your factions strengths and how to accomplish the most with the least amount of turns, otherwise you find the game ending before you get the engine started. The bad... I think you end up with more battles in order to keep them off the board or out of the factory than you'll experience playing humans.So, my final thoughts: No it doesn't replace PvP, but it excels at teaching efficiency and would bet that someone that has beaten the normal difficulty will have an upper hand against others that have experience, but no solo experience.

So, to be clear, when playing the solo variant, is it one automata Vs the solo player? Or can you potentially do multiple Automatas (each with separate Automata deck) Vs solo player, i.e. Automata Vs Automata Vs Solo ?

Could you overdub the parts where you say"automata" with a rerecording with the correct pronunciation?

Good insights🙂

Thanks!

thank you, please do a solo review for fireteam zero!

Just fyi, I believe it's pronounced Aw-TOM-ah-ta. At least, it is in the field of A.I., though I can't speak for the designers. Thanks for the great review, you've encouraged me to try it!

I appreciate the new video. My only criticism is that you're monotone. I got no sense of enthusiasm for a game experience you liked.

Automata [aw-tom-uh-tuh] I was cringing the whole video at the pronunciation. It sounded like you were reading the whole thing. Memorizing key points or having them written if you prefer and speaking freely about them would go a long way. Not a terrible video though. Good luck with the next one.

Automata or Automa?

AUTO-MA! Not AutoMATA
