In Scythe, each player represents a character attempting to make their faction the richest and most powerful in Eastern Europa.

Players explore and conquer territory, enlist new recruits, produce resources and workers, build structures, and deploy monstrous mechs.

A game of Scythe typically begins with players building up their infrastructure, exploring the world, then engaging each other in combat.

The game progresses as players place stars (achievements) on the board, and it ends when a player places their 6th star on the Triumph Track.
