Scythe is an alternate-history engine-building game set in the 1920s. It's a time of farming and war, shattered hearts and rusted gears, bravery and inventiveness. Each player in Scythe takes on the role of a figure from one of five Eastern European factions attempting to make a fortune and secure their faction's interest in the territory surrounding the mysterious Factory. Conquer territory, enlist new soldiers, reap resources, gain villages, construct structures, and trigger giant mechs are all things that players can do in this game.
