Final Expansion ‘Scythe: The Rise of Fenris’ Set for Q3 2018 Release

Jan 2, 2018

Later this year Stonemaier Games will be releasing the final expansion for the popular Scythe game series with the expansion Scythe: The Rise of Fenris. Plenty of fans will be on the lookout for this one as the one to seven player expansion will conclude the story with eight scenarios comprising an over arcing campaign. Scythe: The Rise of Fenris will hit stores in Q3.

From Stonemaier Games:

Empires have risen and fallen in the aftermath of the Great War, and Europa stands on the precipice of a new era. The economy is robust, morale is high, and defenses are strong. There are reports from the countryside of strange soldiers with glowing eyes, but they seem distant and harmless.

Scythe: The Rise of Fenris, the conclusion to the Scythe expansion trilogy, enables two different options for any player count (1-5 if you have Scythe; 1-7 players if you have Invaders from Afar):

Campaign (8 games): The story of Scythe continues and concludes with an 8-episode campaign. While the campaign includes surprises, unlocks, and persistent elements, it is fully resettable and replayable.
Modular (11 modules): Instead of—or after—the campaign, the new modules in The Rise of Fenris can be used in various combinations to cater to player preferences. These modules are fully compatible with all Scythe expansions.

While the exact nature of the episodes and modules will remain a mystery (some of these components are in secret tuckboxes), the components in this expansion include a detailed episodic guidebook, 13 plastic miniatures, 62 wooden tokens, 2 custom dice, 5 tiles, and 100+ cardboard tokens.

I’ve really enjoyed designing this expansion with Ryan Lopez DeVinaspre, inspired as always by Jakub Rozalski’s art and worldbuilding. Scythe: The Rise of Fenris will be available from retailers worldwide in Q3 2018.
