What owners single out
In their words
“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.”

“The production on this is stellar. The minis were so wonderful to paint- I let the kids pick the colors I used for each and suggest details- they look amazing! It's a little light now for my 9 year old, even though they still enjoy it- I think that has a lot to do with it's looks-, but it's still a bit too complex for my 6 year old.”
