Scythe Encounters – talk about taking an already amazing board game to a whole new level! These extra encounter cards are like the spice that kicks Scythe up a notch, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the expansion they bring to the game.
First things first, the variety is insane. The new encounters inject a fresh burst of unpredictability and excitement into each playthrough. It's like discovering hidden gems every time you draw a card – you never know what awesome twist is waiting for you.
The storytelling on these cards is top-notch. They seamlessly weave into the Scythe universe, adding layers of depth to the game. It's like stepping into a dynamic world where each encounter card unfolds a unique narrative. The thematic richness they bring is a game-changer, making every decision feel more immersive and impactful.
The art, as expected with Scythe, is stunning. The attention to detail on each card is a visual treat, adding a visual spectacle to the strategic gameplay. It's like turning every encounter into a mini adventure within the broader Scythe saga.
Scythe Encounters has breathed new life into my Scythe sessions, and I can't imagine going back to the base game alone. If you're a Scythe enthusiast, these encounter cards are an absolute must-have. They're like the secret ingredient that transforms a great game into an unforgettable gaming experience. Get ready for a wild ride!

Product Description
Scythe: Encounters Expansion
In June 2018, Scythe fans were invited to make a design for ONE encounter card using specific art from Jakub Rozalski. Jamey reviewed the submissions, selected his favorites (often mixing and matching various submissions), and developed them. Now the Scythe Encounters promo boxed set is a reality!
Scythe Encounters is a boxed set of 32 brand-new promo encounter cards. These cards feature a number of innovations in the encounter system. We recommend that you play with them on their own for a few games; after that you can shuffle them into the regular encounter deck.

Great upgrade for one of our favorite games
If you love Scythe, play it often, think it's great you'll appreciate this upgrade.I would say this is quite possibly our number one game of all time, so we have slowly upgraded as much of it as possible.We play it often enough that we've gone through all the base game event cards and wanted more for variety. The art on these is still amazing and fabulous and many bring in ties to Wind Gambit which is fun.It's more of the same of what you are used to, so again I will mostly recommend this for very frequent players of the base game and those who want to upgrade their game to get even more enjoyment out of it.For the average Owner who plays Scythe less often, it's a personal choice then, if you like upgrading and having everything for a game you fit the target audience for this as well. Otherwise I won't say this is necessary or game changing in any way, the variety in cards is already there with the base game so this is just for fun or wouldn't be needed at all for other players. If there were ever a new bunch of Factory cards I could get my hands on that would be in my opinion a more almost required purchase.
