Depends on your group
- Our take
- Get it if you often have 6-7 players or want more factions. Otherwise it can wait.
- What you need first
- Just the base game
Scythe · More players
Invaders from Afar
- What it adds
- Two new factions (Albion, Togawa) with 10 minis, plus two player mats that raise the max to 7 players.
- What it fixes
- Lets 6 or 7 people play and adds more faction matchups.
