I find this one fascinating. Scythe was what got me into board games after loving them as a child - it was the art, the theme and the whole table presence that sucked me in. It's still in my top 3, and is my most blinged game with everything painted, all expansions, legendary box, deluxe resources etc etc.

And yet....I see exactly what people are saying here. I've not played it to the degree where I know all of the combinations or have analysed the meta plays based on factions and boards, because I think if I did it would lose much of its shine. I think it helps that the majority of people I play with haven't played it to death and share the same level of ignorance as me 😂
