Scythe: The Wind Gambit

"Scythe: The Wind Gambit" is a commendable expansion to an already exceptional game. It adds a layer of strategic depth without dramatically altering the core mechanics of Scythe. The additional elements seamlessly integrate into gameplay, offering a fresh dynamic that enhances the overall experience.The airships, a central feature of The Wind Gambit, introduce a new layer of movement and tactical possibilities. They're much larger than I expected them to be, which is a great surprise. They are built to *literally* carry workers and resources, and it is very exciting to do so during gameplay. See the photo for a size reference relative to the box.The expansion components maintain the same high quality as the base game, with sturdy cards and well-crafted miniatures. The rulebook, as expected, is clear and concise, ensuring a smooth integration of the new elements into the existing game framework.While The Wind Gambit succeeds in augmenting the Scythe experience, it is not a game-changer and therefore may not be for everyone. However, for players seeking subtle yet impactful expansions, this addition is certainly worth considering.In conclusion, "Scythe: The Wind Gambit" earns its five stars for its seamless integration, thoughtful design, and the enhanced strategic possibilities it brings to the table. It's a worthy addition for fans of Scythe looking to breathe new life into their gaming sessions.If you like this product, definitely consider "Scythe: Invaders From Afar." It contains two new factions which shake up gameplay and give Scythe a fresh feel.

This is a fantastic expansion, and is a great value. Don't be fooled by the sale price here though. This is sold regular price around $20-25 in game shops.

Scythe fue un regalo que recibí hace una semana, el juego es fantástico, lleva su curva de aprendizaje, una vez que dominas los movimientos del tablero de jugador, ya es posible tener partidas fluidas. Esta expansión añade una pieza más al juego volviéndolo más dinámico, las cartas le dan versatilidad al uso de la nave, el otro módulo cambia drásticamente el final del juego, recomiendo mucho esta expansión.

L'espansione non é indispensabile, tuttavia il costo é basso (20€) e i modellini sono fatti molto bene, vedere le navi volanti che se ne vanno in giro per il tabellone é molto figo.Le navi cambiano le dinamiche di inizio gioco in quanto é possibile utilizzarle per superare i fiumi fin dal primo turno. Aggiungono inoltre qualche piccola dinamica aggiuntiva che rende il gioco più vario.

To begin I must make it clear that I'm OBSESSED with Scythe, there, got that off my chest.This follows the usual Stonemaier format of excellent production values resulting in high quality packaging and components. The airships are stunning and the rules are clear.I would suggest that you only really consider this if you have the board extension as the territories become extremely cluttered with the additional units.As for gameplay, the ships are a force multiplier and are a subtle way of adding another dimension to the core game. I think this is aimed more at the veterans of Scythe who want to inject new life into their games rather than newbies.On the whole another good addition to the game but, of all the expansions, this is the one you could buy last.I recommend this product.
