We recommend that you don’t try to teach every little

rule to new players. Instead, give each player a quickstart

card. This card contains key information about

units on one side, and the other side covers broad

concepts and gives players something specific to do for

their first five turns.

Your first game of Scythe isn’t about devising a

masterful plan or understanding every little rule. Just

jump in and start pushing buttons to see how things

work, referring to the rules when necessary.
