Scythe: The Kotaku Review

It’s not every day you get to rampage through the 1920s countryside in control of a fleet of giant mechs.

Scythe is a new board game from Stonemaier Games. If the art up top (which is on the front of the game’s box) looks familiar, that’s because the entire game is based on a universe imagined by artist Jakub Rozalski, which we featured on Fine Art a few years back and which is now also getting a video game.

The UI is amazing (1 more)

Great feel for the board game, true to it.

no longer works on my iPad or my iPhone, needs to be updated. (0 more)

This is a great app, or atleast it used to be... (Recently updated.... Yay!)

my wife and I played this so frequently on our pads, it was a serious bummer to have it not updated with he iOS updates. We have the physical version and we still play it from time to time, but it's always frustrating to pay for something and then have it no longer work. (update, it works again)

Tabletop Game Rating

This is one of my absolute favorite social deduction board games. Each person has a secret identity that you can choose to share (or not) with other players in the game. You need to be good at both bluffing and social deduction to win.

This game is best with 11-20 players. You can play with any number, but it starts getting a little unwieldly once you get up to 25-30.

It is not hard to teach this game- I play it in class with my college students and it doesn't take too long before they catch on.

Simple and easy turns (2 more)

only 30 turns can be played in approximately a half hour. But I can also stop anytime and come back to it.

Feels like a digital board game.

I wish the graphics were better, not so retro block-y. (0 more)

I've played about 7 games of this and so far I've not cracked the code to getting more than 2 stars..

So far I really like it and really get into the exploring, an researching technologies. Even the battles are slightly entertaining. It's quick enough to take 2 or 3 turns and put it away on the go.

Great with most player counts, very interactive, always different, great theme (0 more)

Says it will play two, does not work as a two player game (0 more)

A game that never gets old!!

This was the game that got me into board games and is still one I pull out anytime the chance arises! It is a perfect blend of drafting and timely decisions. There is always interaction between the players between buying goods and war that it keeps all players focused on each move along with their opponents. The replayability is through the roof and has been a hit between gamers and non gamers alike!

Thunderbirds are go!

Thunderbirds is a great cooperative game that has elements of Pandemic and X-Com.

Players take on the role of international rescue and work to prevent disaters occuring around the world (and in space) Meanwhile the Hood works to sabotage the players.

Players move vehicles and character's around the board to bring the right equipment into play and then try to resolve the disasters with a dice role.

There are sevral difficulty levels and the expaniosns work well together.
