In Scythe players take on the roll of one of several countries vying for control in post Great War 1920s Europa, an alternate version of 1920s Europe. Over the course of the game players can upgrade their individual actions, construct buildings to strengthen their positions on the map, enlist recruits to control the map and gain resources, and activate mechs to fight other players and defend their territory.

Each of the factions in Scythe has a different player board with different action costs and player abilities, leading the players to have entirely different strategies and approaches to the game and keeping the gameplay interesting.
