Reflection \\ Scythe – Board Games and the Playful Architecture

As a development step from last week’s Interim Reviews, I’ve started exploring potential narratives through game playing. A few of us decided to meet on Friday and try a new game, Scythe.  As described by The Pandora Society, Scythe is a role-playing strategy game set in an alternate, diesel-punk timeline where giant machines shake the battlefields of Europa and disenfranchised leaders must rely on their innate skills to gather the armies and expand their territories. For board game connoisseurs, think of it as a cross between Risk and D&D.
