Scythe is a game of strategy, resource management, and combat, where players aim to control the most land and complete their objectives.
In Scythe, players control one of several factions with unique abilities. The game is played on a hexagonal grid, with players managing resources, deploying mechs, and engaging in combat to expand their territory and fulfill objectives.
- Faction Abilities: Each faction has a unique ability that affects their strategy. Some are better at combat, while others excel at resource gathering or mobility.
- Resource Management: Players collect resources (wood, metal, food, and oil) to build structures, create mechs, and upgrade their abilities.
- Combat: Players can engage in combat using their mechs and units. Combat is resolved through a combination of power, combat cards, and resources.
- Mechs and Upgrades: Building mechs grants powerful abilities, such as moving across rivers, deploying additional units, or gaining combat strength.

Master Scythe’s complex mechanics to secure your dominance over the battlefield and economy.
Scythe is a game of balancing resource management, strategic positioning, and combat. Here are some strategies to help you win:
- Balance Your Economy and Military: While combat is important, ensure you have a solid economic base. Focus on gathering resources and upgrading abilities while building a strong army.
- Expand Early: Take control of key territory early on to secure resources and power. Building mechs early will help you expand and give you more options for combat and movement.
- Focus on Objectives: Don’t just engage in combat for its own sake. Aim to complete the objectives as efficiently as possible. Completing objectives will give you more points, helping you achieve victory.
- Use Mechs Wisely: Each mech grants a unique ability. Focus on mechs that complement your faction’s strength and help you control the board more effectively.
- Combat Timing: Timing your attacks is crucial. Don’t rush into battle too early or you may leave yourself vulnerable. Build up strength and wait for the right moment to strike.
