About this product

Add 32 fresh encounter cards to your Scythe world.

A compact expansion that brings more story, surprise and replay value to Scythe.

Scythe Encounters is a small card expansion for Scythe, adding 32 new encounter cards with fresh choices, hidden options and new moments of table tension.

Product Description

Bring new life to your Scythe sessions with Scythe Encounters, a boxed set of 32 additional encounter cards for the Scythe base game.

These fan-designed cards were refined by Jamey Stegmaier and add fresh story moments, new decision points and more variety when your character reaches an encounter space. You can play with the new deck on its own for a few games, shuffle it into the original encounter deck, or choose your favourite cards to customise the experience.

This is a smaller expansion, but for regular Scythe players, it adds a lovely “what happens now?” feeling back into the game. Sneaky little box. Big table energy.
