16-piece Set of Worker Meeples for Scythe: Invaders from Afar

While empires rise and fall in Eastern Europa, the rest of the world takes notice. Two distant factions, Albion and Togawa, send emissaries to scout the land and employ their own distinct styles of conquering. This expansion to Scythe adds 2 new factions: 10 miniatures, 62 custom wooden tokens, and 2 faction mats. It also includes some new cardboard tokens, 2 new player mats, 6 Automa cards, and a custom plastic insert designed to fit into the expansion box or the original Scythe box.

Originally the game was to be capped at 5 players, but I wanted to include 2 new player mats in the expansion. I realized that some people were going to use the mats to play 6-7 player games no matter what the box says, so I needed to make sure the game worked for them! To scale up, the expansion includes alternate abilities for some of the original factions.


Invaders from Afar will be available in December 2016 via retailers with an MSRP of $30. We'll post teasers on BGG and the Scythe Facebook group, and we'll announce the release on the Stonemaier Games e-newsletter.

Yes, you need this.

The faction sigils are printed on the base game board! Yes, if you own Scythe, then you should own this expansion.

Great expansion

The new factions add a tonne of replayability for this game and interesting new strategies

Essential.

Great expansion. New factions are great. They are tricky though. They start the game not trapped on an island, so you can get moving right away( which is great) but that doesn't necessarily always make things easier. ;)
