Trying to get into the Scythe board game online matches, but I gotta say, the app has a really badly designed matchmaking for the playerbase it has, turning it into a waiting simulator.

SCYTHE IS CURTIS'S NUMBER ONE FAVORITE BOARD GAME

How much do I love Scythe?!? Let me count the ways! The game combines great gameplay with a stunning aesthetic. It's big and has lots of bits, but don't be scared - get it to the table and experience a modern board game classic!

Yesterday I went to a local protest, had drinks & dinner with a friend, and played our first game of Scythe in a long time. Successful Sunday!
Board game Scythe. A mech and player character on the map alongside some workers & resources.

Thanks! Terra Mystica is earlier, and I totally forgot about Hansa Teutonica. I should revisit the game soon. So, is Scythe the first game to combine the UI with double-layered boards?
I'm currently interested in the development of UI in modern board games and would like to hear your thoughts.

What is the earliest game with in which moving your own token from your player board to the main board uncovers a permanent bonus? Scythe (2016) is the earliest example I can think of, but are there any precursors? Maybe I should ask Jamey @stonemaiergames.com about its origin.
Great UI, indeed.

Got Scythe: Expeditions to the table tonight because we're trying to squeeze board games in whenever at this point

I didn't have a plan for my 4th Glory, & my wife won at 87-72

It's an interesting twist on Scythe
Kinda like you're playing more of an RPG instead of a psuedo-war game
Scythe Expeditions board game end-game board state featuring a board made of hexagonal tiles, various color meeples, cards, and plastic mech miniatures

Seems all I can do are short sessions. I refined the #nonmetallicmetal #nmm of the armor & scythe, edge highlighted bits of the scythe, and glazed the #armor. #WIP of 2 of 4 #skeletons from the #HeroQuest board game.
#skeleton #dnd #minipainting #nerdlings #art #golden #soflat #vallejo #xpresscolor
Pictured are two of four skeleton miniatures from the HeroQuest board game. Wveryhting is painted except for the scale mail in the crotch and the bases. Front view. The leathers were painted with a layering of Golden SoFlat paints, burnt umber, burnt sienna, mars yellow deep, Naples yellow deep, and then a dot of titan buff here and there. The first skeleton is painted with a sketch and blend technique, matching darker colors to the shadows and brighter ones to the highlights. The colors used were Golden SoFlat raw umber, Kimera oxide brown light, and SoFlat titan buff. They were mixed to create the blends. The kilt was painted with all SoFlats, crimson, layered with cadmium red dark, pyrrole red, and cadmium red light then glazed with Phthalo Green. The armor and scythe blade were painted mostly with Kimera white, iron hue, silver gray, and carbon black. A thin glaze of Golden SoFlat phthalo blue was applied on the armor and scythe blade. The second skeleton was painted with SoFlat titan buff and then a wash of Vallejo sepia wash. Some highlights were painted over that. The kilt was painted with all SoFlats, phthalo blue (green shade), cobalt blue, cerulean blue hue, and medium phthalo blue, glazed with Kimera orange. The armor and scythe were painted the same as the skeleton above. The glaze over the armor was Golden high flow acrylic transparent red iron oxide to get an orange-y rust color. The scythe was glazed with blue like the skeleton above. Pictured are two of four skeleton miniatures from the HeroQuest board game.

This style reminds me of art in the board game Scythe (which is a really fun game btw), I've attached one of the illustrations from the board game for comparison

Short session, could only work on the leathers and scythe haft. Feels too bright, I’m gonna need to weather at least one or two of them to experiment a bit. #WIP of the four #skeletons from the #HeroQuest board game.

Pictured are four skeleton miniatures from the HeroQuest board game. Only the bones, leathers, and haft of the scythes are painted…otherwise there is only a zenithal highlight. The leathers were painted with a layering of Golden SoFlat paints, burnt umber, burnt sienna, mars yellow deep, Naples yellow deep, and then a dot of titan buff here and there. The first skeleton is painted with a sketch and blend technique, matching darker colors to the shadows and brighter ones to the highlights. The colors used were Golden SoFlat raw umber, Kimera oxide brown light, and SoFlat titan buff. They were mixed to create the blends. The second skeleton was painted with SoFlat titan buff and then a wash of Vallejo sepia wash. Some highlights were painted over that. The third one was based in SoFlat raw umber and then drybrushed with the same colors as the first one. The fourth one was based in SoFlat titan buff and then a diluted Vallejo Xpress Paint wasteland brown.

Got to enjoy my last full day off before the semester starts tomorrow with some #boardgames action. Scythe and A Gest of Robin Hood were on the table.

I love the dynamics of Scythe; it’s like competitive solitaire meets chess 🤓

First play of Robin Hood. Interesting GMT sim of a peasant revolt.

New comic! Board games keep you young at heart. Sitting all night? That’s another story... 💀

📜 You can read this week's blog post at:
semicoop.com/comic/the-long-game/ #boardgames
ALT Panel 1: The Grim Reaper, holding a scythe, says, “I have a problem. There are more games I want to play than people dying who want to play them with me.” Rachel, standing beside him, replies, “But board games are super popular right now!” Panel 2: The Grim Reaper holds a full hourglass and says, “Yes, but those board gamers stay young in spirit because they have fun. Inconveniently so.” Rachel listens and responds, “I see.” Panel 3: Rachel and the Grim Reaper sit side by side on a log. Rachel says, “We board gamers sit a lot though.” she continues, “Sitting is the new smoking.” The Grim Reaper answers, “Yes…” and then concludes, “That’s my long-term strategy.”

Past week in board games ✨
Splendor Duel, with Zuko (cat) comfortable on the table, and overseeing the game. A game of Scythe in 6 players. Zuko (cat) sitting between Roll Player and Roll Player: Fiends & Familiars. Cthulhu Death May Die in 3 players. Azathoth spawned in a closet, so naturally, our investigators had to climb it to attack it.

The kids are screaming about their resource management problems, it's really wild.
I've played normal Scythe and it can get intense but it's funny to see so many arguments about little creatures like this

(3/3)
UNITS: TIER 4 Lux tends to spend more time being sold for Sylas than time spent on end-game victory screens. We’re giving her a small buff to the two-target burst component of her laser that’ll help Demacia purist boards and Sylas fans looking to reignite the two’s spark by picking up additional copies even after she’s used to break Sylas out of unlock-jail. Miss Fortune is just a tad over the three-star 4-cost power bar, but with her being easier to three-star via the Black Market, we’re going extra hard with our nerf here. With early Rift Herald unlocks, a 1200 HP body is often enough to tempo into the mid-game, making for a healthier road to a fast 9 and Baron. Lux Primary Target Damage: 310/465 AP ⇒ 330/500 AP Miss Fortune three-star Damage: 5000 AD ⇒ 3000 AD Nasus Mana: 0/80 ⇒ 10/70 Rift Herald Base HP: 1200 ⇒ 1100HP Rift Spell Base Durability: 30% ⇒ 25% Skarner Shield: 725/875 AP ⇒ 750/950 AP Singed Heal: 10/50/500 AP ⇒ 12/65/500 AP UNITS: TIER 5 With one end-game board coming down a tad, we’re also lifting our two low-performing end-game carries. And while T-Hex still can’t physically clap, he’ll surely be able to clap other boards more often. Aurelion Sol 60 Stardust Bonus Damage: 12% ⇒ 15% Aurelion Sol 400 Stardust Bonus True Damage: 25% ⇒ 33% T-Hex Laser Damage Per Second: 120/200 AD ⇒ 135/240 AD T-Hex Reduced Damage Per Enemy Hit: 15% ⇒ 18% T-Hex Max Reduced Damage: 45% ⇒ 55% ITEMS Darkin Bow AD: 25% ⇒ 10% Darkin Scythe Slash Damage: 100% basic Attack Damage ⇒ 200% basic Attack Damage Darkin Staff Mana Regen: 1 ⇒ 2 AUGMENTS Taking a pass to make sure our worst-performing Augments are worthy of your precious clicks. We’ve opted to disable Growth Mindset as its optimized play pattern is unintuitive, outside of our power framework, and not super healthy. Currently we see players save as much gold as possible before Augment selection in the hopes of getting more value out of Growth Mindset, creating a feast or famine situation that we did not initially expect when balancing the Augment. Since we don’t want to nerf the Augment to a point where the only viable way to take it is playing around getting it offered, we’re instead disabling it to swap out with a different XP related Augment in a future patch. Belt Overflow Bonus Belt HP: 75 ⇒ 85 Big Friend I Durability: 9% ⇒ 10% Comeback Story Health Per Missing HP: 4 ⇒ 5 Crash Test Dummies Dummy Resists: 30 ⇒ 40 Crown’s Will AP: 10% ⇒ 12% Crown’s Will Armor: 8 ⇒ 10 Cry Me a River Enhanced Mana Regen: 2 ⇒ 3 Cry Me a River Delay: 10s ⇒ 12s Mace’s WIll AS: 6% ⇒ 8% Promised Protection Additional Mana: 15% ⇒ 18% Solo Plate Bonus HP: 10% ⇒ 15% Spear’s Will AD: 10% ⇒ 12% The Golden Dragon Bonus Health: 500 ⇒ 600 Growth Mindset has been disabled Win Out Free Rerolls: 5 ⇒ 2 Wood Axiom disabled BUG FIX Fixed an issue where Aphelios, Ekko, Tryndamere, and Kindred’s attacks from their ability would not interact with Critical Strike Chance properly.
