Scythe: The Rise of Fenris Expansion

This is a fantastic immersive expansion and a really great value for the money! The story elements were great, and we loved the surprises from game to game. It has great replay value as well, whether you do the entire campaign over again or just play custom games using the additional elements. I really want to play it again, but it's hard to get the group together to commit to 7 playthroughs. We played the first game or two with 3, then added a 4th. There are options for adding/removing players throughout, but I'd highly recommend trying not to do so if you can.

I cannot say enough about this box, what it is, what it does, and all that it adds to the world of Scythe. I would without hesitation throw money at Stonemaier games if they would ever do anything like this again. The Rise of Fenris is just that amazing. We have played it twice now as the 2p campaign, it was never lacking, even with multiple plays now I enjoy the campaign story that is included as your progress. The next time we play it will be the full campaign with 6 players from start to finish. It is very easy to reset the box in the end and have it able and ready to unfold for new players, everything has a place and we've set ours back up the way it came, with the exception of tidying up some components in bags. Without spoiling anything if you even "just like" Scythe, I think Fenris would exceed your expectations and have you pretty eagerly looking forward to playing the next campaign. We play Scythe quite a bit and we've never wanted to play so many games of it back to back or over the course of a few weeks before. The evolving nature of the game lends anticipation and curiosity as to what comes next and just further enhances what is a great game. 5 Stars, 10/10, would recommend, must buy! I cannot wait until the next time we open that box.

I play Scythe usually once a week with a group of 4-6 people. This is one of our group's favorite game of all time. I have previously purchased The Wind Gambit expansion and the Invaders From Afar expansion and have now completed it with The Rise of Fenris story mode expansion. This is a HUGE expansion and is the size of the other two expansion boxes combined. It comes with a full 8 game campaign with certain branching naritaves to change the story a bit. It comes with multiple new pieces (wooden and plastic) that are beautifully detailed. The story was engaging and kept us wanting to play more (we would sometimes do 2-3 chapters each time). This is absolutely worth the money if you love Scythe. CAUTION: In order to get the most enjoyment out of this game you NEED to avoid spoilers and play the campaign without peeking in the boxes inside the main box. It will add to your enjoyment and make every new surprise and new piece discovered all the more rewarding. I did receive a new piece slightly bent, but it was not too bad or noticable. Overall, we loved this final expansion and now need to look to invest in the Legendary Box/Broken Token insert to speed up the lengthy set up/clean up phase of Scythe.

This expansion was awesome! I did the campaign with a group of 4 people and we had a blast. Some of the rules can be a bit confusing at first but we eventually got the hang of it! Lots of fun surprises, and new elements to each game, which make it interesting and engaging! And make sure not to open all the boxes inside the main box until prompted by the booklet! Good times!

Great game! Good price ! Highly recommended!

Great quality! Stonemaier Games never disappoints!

I have played MANY board games over my life and I have even managed a board game/comic book store which had competitive board game events. I know my board games. Scythe (base game) has become my entire friends groups favorite board game of all time unanimously. Watch review online, almost every board game expert says “scythe is in my top five if not number one”. Now as for this expansion. GET IT NOW. Doesn’t just add a few new cards or pierces but changes the entire game into almost coop/competitive story mode (with even some ‘RPG’ like elements, new factions, and tons of other stuff I don’t want to ruin (don’t open the surprise blind boxes until you get to them in the story!) If you like the world of 1920+ (or just the art style) this expansion is the best way to get into the lore and world building of Scythe and 1920+. You will not be disappointed. I usually never write reviews but this purchase deserves it.

This expansion is my favorite of all three. The campaign was fun and introduced a lot of things to the game. It's kinda hard to talk about it without spoiling the campaign, but if you aren't really interested in the campaign, a lot of the added mechanics can be added to any game of scythe as modular additions.
