Mike and I have been playing the new Scythe expansion The Rise of Fenris, and so far it's really good. It's interesting because you're meant to play it as a campaign the first several times, and basically each different time you get to try one of the different expansions. Then later they can be played independently, however you want. There is also an interesting backstory, which is more complex than your average boardgame backstory. It has to do with an alternate history timeline involving Nikola Tesla around WWI. I might be biased since I never won Scythe until we started playing this way, and I have won one of the individual games now. Good times.
We were once American ex-pats exploring down under. Now we are Aussie ex-pats getting reacquainted with American life.
