If you don’t pay attention to the world of modern board games, you’ve almost certainly never heard of Scythe. If you’re a diehard cardboard fan, though, it’s all you’ve been hearing about for months. Scythe is arguably the most-hyped board game of 2016, and it’s certainly one of the biggest (Rob Daviau's upcoming Seafall is another contender). Scythe's Kickstarter campaign was a massive success, raising more than $1.8 million from 18,000 backers (disclosure: I backed the game at the $79 “Premium Edition” level). https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/07/scythe-the-most-hyped-board-game-of-2016-delivers/
