Scythe: Digital Edition transports players to an alternate reality in 1920s Europa, a world still feeling the aftermath of the "Great War." Years have passed since the conflict, but tensions are high as factions vie for control over the coveted resources of The Factory, an independent city-state that birthed powerful Mechs—those colossal machines of war that now roam the lands.

Choose to lead one of the five unique factions: the Saxony Empire, Crimean Khanate, Rusviet Union, Polania Republic, or Nordic Kingdom. Your mission is to become the wealthiest and most formidable nation in Europa. To achieve this, you must explore new territories, recruit allies, and deploy your forces by building powerful combat Mechs.

Scythe is marked by its asymmetrical gameplay; each faction starts with distinct resources, objectives, and advantages, ensuring a unique experience every time. Strategy plays a critical role, as players can influence their fate while minimizing chance, aside from drawing Encounter cards. With an emphasis on engine building, players can enhance their capabilities, construct structures, and expand their influence, creating a rich sense of progression throughout the game. Prepare for a fierce battle for supremacy where every decision counts!
