Scythe: Game Board Extension Reviews

4.7 Rating 10 Reviews
Read Zatu Games Reviews

If you ever thought that the board that comes with Scythe was not big quite enough, The Scythe: Game Board Extension is exactly what you need! It allows players to increase the size of the original playing field to impress your fellow gamers for more enjoyment and greater ease of use.

On the reverse of the original board supplied with the base game you will have noticed that there is a much bigger version of the board already printed but it is missing part of the board and is incomplete. By placing the Scythe: Game Board Extension next to this side it will complete the entire board. The hexagon sizes have increased which allows you see much more of the incredibly detailed artwork! There are exactly the same amounts of board locations (including popularity, star and power boxes) present as it purely allows you to play on an up-scaled version of the original board. There are no other changes to the game play itself.

Aside from an increased footprint on the table, having a larger board allows easier visibility of location iconography, especially when there are many workers, resources and mechs in play. It all adds up to make the game look even more epic, if that was even possible!

The original board in Scythe is 624x818mm, which increases to 818x936mm when adding the Scythe: Game Board Extension.

A copy of Scythe is required to use this expansion.

Didn't realise how big a difference this board extension would make. Just having that little bit more space in each hex allows for easier movement around the map. It does make this big game that much bigger though so beware if you only have a small table.

This should definitely be incorporated in with the original game, its worth picking up as it looks amazing once set up but theres no justification for paying extra for it.

Only 4 stars as this is not an essential expansion. You will be able to play Scythe on the board that comes with the game. Even if you add all the expansions, it is still possible to use the original board, which is by the way huge on its own. This extension just makes it even bigger and let's the art (which is beautiful) shine even brighter. I mean all those small elements like villages and building drawn on the board just pop right in your face. But remember, the total map with this extension becomes HUGE and you need a HUGE table to play it.
