Let's Play: Scythe Digital Edition - Polonia/Industrial - Part 1 [Sponsored] 

BTW in Edinburgh there is a monument to Wojtek the bear, who helped polish troops during the WW2 References, references everywhere!

@Quill18 Your workers can move any and all resources in a tile with them when they move; mechs can do the same. You could have moved that worker and the metal and done exactly what you wanted to do. This game punishes poor planning but not as bad as you thought it might. As far as ideas go you can either focus early production and one other action, in your case probably focus on that wood and then buildings. Two action loops are also great, especially if you can do both the top and bottom action of at least one of them each turn. Don't neglect popularity as it multiplies your points. Another strategy that can work is just hoarding money, it's literally victory points so never feel bad for doing something just for a decent return in coins. Our group has found that Polonia is a very powerful faction for novice players because while you may not know the most efficient ways to play yet, two rewards for going after events is hard to mess up. The Rusvet (sp?) are also great as they break the normal action loop and with the right economy board they can really hyper focus on one thing efficiently. From a novice Scythe player.

Really do enjoy your boardgame stuff, Loved your BSG a long long way back, still hope to see the return of Cylon Quill

This is one of my favorite boardgames. Excited to watch this.

I believe the artwork for this was by Jakub Różalski. Does some awesome work!

Oh my lord, I bought this game almost a year ago but have never yet played. Honestly bought it mostly because the art is so amazing, love Jakub Rozalski's art!

Scythe is an excellent introduction to medium-heavy engine builders. The physical version has amazing art and great miniatures, I can only recommend it!

Polish faction is the most polished (hehe) faction out there It has a lot of references here and there like: -Wojtek bear which really existed. He was adopted by General Anders's polish army on exile at Italy and he was mascot among the soldiers, But for him to stay with the soldiers he had to become a soldier. That means the poland officially had bear serving in its millitary! There is also a myth that during one of battles he started to carry the shells for the artillery. After the war polish army on exile was disbanded and because poland was forced to become communist republic which accused the army of treason and they couldn't go back, the bear had to stay in Brittain in Edinburgh where he died and got a monument -Winged Hussars on the faction screen -On Wojtek's backpack and on Anna's beret there is "Polska Walcząca" symbol that looks like P anchor. It was created and used by polish underground during ww2 and by Warsaw uprising -On patriotic player deck there is a monument and I think it's monument of Polish Army Marshal Józef Piłsudzki, which is Polish national hero, father of polish independence, a symbol and later a dictator that helped Poland resurrect itself and fight for its territories after ww1 -The game's setting was inspired by polish-bolshevik war in early '20s that was struggle of poland and some other eastern european nations to exist and be sovereign from russia. The war was won by so called Vistula [River] Miracle (war was decisive polish victory making it one of the few that won with Russia [twice or more] and only modern nation that conquered Moscow) There is of course plenty more of these refernces but that's enough for now

Oh this is awesome. I love scythe and being able to play it online sounds amazing

I can't believe you hadn't played this before! I love this game and we own all the expansions!

Very much looking forward to this game!

I love the art style to this. My pc screen image comes from this universe.

At 20 minute mark you did a move action, any unit (character, worker, mech) when it moves can carry as many resources as you want with it.

Damn it Quil18 yet another amazing game you're playing. But alas I need to save up for a deposit... or do I?

They didn’t bother to paint the miniatures in the digital version?

Any PC board game adaptions that can be played in person locally? Steam to big screen? 2 player?

Yay you finally got it

Omg I thought your channel got deleted. I tried looking for you again but. I forget your channel name. I'm glad RU-vid recommendations recommending me this video

wow yeah that is so amazing art!

Thanks for the video, seems like an awesome game, definitely gonna look into it

I thought I saw the expansion the other day, is it not supposed to be out yet?

Cheers from Poland ;)

i love you Quill. Always wanted to play this game, but it costs soo much, between 80-100 bucks here in germany. As a student i cant afford thatt right now. Watching you play it is almost as good though.

how can I check the enemy's enlists?

You can take resources with you when you move. You do not have to leave them in the space.

I was expecting like company of heroes but this is good too.

Is the game board always the same? If yes, how is the replayability?

4:39 is that the world's largest muskox, or is Bjorn a dwarf?

Wait.. you don't know the story of Wojtek, the Syrian brown bear that was enlisted into the polish army? Boy this will make an interesting Hearts of Iron IV animal kingdoms playthrough.

Oh my this is sweet!!!

Desperately waiting for this to come to phone

He’s playing my favorite board game... I think I’m gonna die

Only dozens ? :-)

Edgelord here: It's an OK game that ends up being 80% solitaire with some interesting gameplay in the last turns of the game. It's a hearty 'meh' from me, after playing it about ~15 times between the legacy-like campaign (8 games) and 7 regular games. When everyone knows what they're doing, turns are predetermined and there is lots of balking about getting a bad economy sheet for their faction, or objectives, the only random element in this game. That being said, this is a good game for creatures of habit who enjoy slamming out some solid, consistent games.

Ive been dieing to get this board game in hard copy. Maybe now i wont have too.

Why OldManReflexes and not Quill18?

Polan can into Mechs.

"I have dozens of board games in my basement here." *Looks at collection of over 200 board games* What a n00b. :P ;)

almost seems like you didn't hear of Iron Harvest?!

Damn it, this looks so cool. I wish any of my friends would be anywhere remotely likely to play it.

Is this the same setting as the Iron Harvest RTS?

Quill! I am making two different board games currently, when I get through some more play-testing, if you are interested, I would value you and your group of friends opinion.

PolAnia not Polonia, and Voytek, not that you've read :D Thx for video!

All Art in this game looks like it's by Jakob Rozalski

That art is for another game called iron harvest

I heard you say you have friends to play board games with... must be nice.

so this is wat iron harvest is based on

Wait this looks just like iron harvest

The bear Wojtek ist from WW2 not alternate WW1. Immersion: ruined en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojtek_(bear)

Why does that artwork and settings look so similar to the upcoming RTS game "Iron Harvest"?

I wish they painted the figurines though. I dunno, maybe it's because I dabbled in 3d rendering, or maybe I'm just autistic. but this lack of textures on the figurines bothers me.

Finally!

So jealous of quill for getting to play boardgames every week:(

i have played the board game desent amount, and i have to say would have done things alot different.

Polania Republic = Poland Saxony Empire = Imperial Germany Rusviet Union = Russia Nordic Kingdom = Scandinavia Crimean Khanate = Cossacks/Mongols And my ideas: Federation of Columbia = United States (THIS: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_(name) for anyone who wrongly confuses it with the South American country IRL) Empire of Victoria = Britain Kingdom of the Two Thrones = Austria-Hungary

I know how to shoot I don’t know how to fight every mech

G O D W O J T E K H A S D E S C E N D E D U P O N U S

Who here thinks that this game plays like total war and disappointed that it's not? Certainly I am😭

weiß du nicht

dab

Wojtek = Voyteck ;)

Get back to ck2! You can't leave us on a cliffhanger this long! haha

Wait!! there is no Pookrainian oligarchy? some folks gonna be outraged... LOL

turning off the in game music would be great in your video :) thanks for sharing the game

Scythe is an exceptional game and to be honest I'd recommend that you just buy the board game rather than the digital remake

flat pictures don't look nice,they look dated.I would expect to see 3d video gaming.The game doesn't look very good either.This design would work about 25 years ago but now it doesn't look very good.I had a bad feeling before the game started because the startup had paintings instead of a video movie.

I'm actually not that big of a fan of Scythe. I've won 3 out of 3 against my group. :(

the thing in the background dude, is a mech. if you talk about instruction and shit, you should probably only talk about what you know. you have a good voice, try and think about what you say and why. you would seem ignorant if what you talk about you actually have no clue of.

My goodness, calm down... A really dull game hidden behind a salad of different mechanics disguised as complexity. Practically no interaction between players. Glad I saw the video before buying.

Scythe is stupidly overrated. Yeah the artstyle is cool. The rest of the game? Pffft.
