I've played Scythe several times with friends who love it, but it has never hit that sweet spot for me. My Little Scythe has everything I like about Scythe, with everything I dislike about it stripped away. It plays fast, the teach is a breeze, the aesthetics are right up my alley, it's streamlined, and not bogged down with unnecessary mechanics. Superior to Scythe in every way.

We LOVE this game. We’ve purchased 8 games…four for our family and four for gifts. We play with our granddaughters…ages 18 mos - 2-1/2 years old…sorting, organizing and stacking. Then the adults play. So much fun! KIMBERLY · orientaltrading.com
