Scythe: Invaders from Afar Board Game Expansion Ages 14+, 1-7 Players, 90-115 Minutes Playing Time

Scythe Invaders from afar - good addition for original Scythe board game if You has 6-7 players in one time. It has balanced rules for playing more then 5 players. For example if You are playing 6 or 7 players, You must change Crimea and Polania (from original game) ability. New expirience in game for two new factions is good. New abilities of traps posibilities from Togawa Shogunate is interesting thing and Clan Albion's Flag posibility gave unexpected game end results. Inside box threre are: - Rule books for automa game and for two new nations; - All faction components for Togawa and Albion: -- Faction Mats; -- Action token; -- Popularity token; -- Power token; -- Star tokens; -- Structure tokens; -- Recruit tokens; -- Mecth miniatures; -- Character miniatures; -- Workers; -- Technology cubes; -- Cardboard tokens; - Punchboard (where You take - carboards, new 50 $ money sign and new abilities for game with 6-7 players; - Some plastic bags for organizer. About box - You would not be able to fit it inside original box without power or with all game components. But all components without box goes inside original box without problems at all.

Beautiful art on the box, all the pieces are well made and well packed.

If you're a fan of the base game of Scythe, this is a perfect expansion. The original game is well balanced without it, and the addition of the new powers and boards doesn't upset that, so either way you're getting an excellent game. The two new factions are a nice counterweight to the main five because they're more defensively focused, which is a nice way to shake up the game.

I love Scythe and this is an excellent addition. It loses one star because this should really be part of the base game, especially when you can see their symbols on the board already. Feels like on the disc dlc to use a video game term.

Great expansion

This is a great game. The kids love it and so do the adults.

Got as a gift son was chuffed with it and still favourite game. Artwork beautiful I’m told

Improves the gameplay.

Muito bem embalado. Caixa chegou em perfeito estado no Brasil e em um prazo muito rápido. Recomendo

Although it is not really recommended to play 7 players, it is good to have more factions (this expansion adds two new interesting factions) so that you would have more options to choose from, and this expansion comes with two more player-boards (militant and innovative) which are the great addition to the five player-boards in the base game (industrial, engineering, patriotic, mechanical, agricultural); adding more varieties even to the core five factions. Having said that, this expansion doesn't introduce a new mechanic which is applicable to all factions, but the two new factions come with two new (but rather similar) mechanics that are specific to their own factions. If you prefer the new mechanic or new type of unit which can be added to your core factions, I would rather advise you to go for The Wind Gambit expansions. Having said that, this is the first expansion (released in 2016) which would probably go out of print sooner or later.

Invaders from Afar brings in two new factions to Scythe. Togawa, the Japanese faction, and Albion, the Scots. After having played with both, I can safely say that these are powerful in their own right and fun to play with. Although they are the furthest from the factory (literally coming from afar) they do not have to deploy riverwalk to expand and are difficult to attack immediately (this makes a HUGE difference in a 3-4 player game). There is an added game mechanic of flags and traps with the Japanese and Scots respectively. This makes for even more careful movement and optimization on the game board. As always, the mechs and characters are beautifully designed. Overall, this is a must-have expansion for anyone who plays Scythe regularly.
