The Art work is brilliant, just bloody brilliant . Saxon, & his hound in their AGR's was the one that stood out for me. Just hope the there is a great game in the box as well.
+crasher303 So far the game itself is getting great comments on it. It'll probably be a couple months before I can get it on the table due to other commitments, but that may be a good thing. Play it after the hype has died down a bit ;) Give me a more even perspective.
+Stuka Joe No joke, man... I won't know how it plays until I play it, but the components and art are just miles over anything else I've had on my table. Just stunningly beautiful!
No need to apologize for the length of the video. Your excitement for the production quality as you unboxed each component was understandable. I am still waiting for the game to reach retail. I held off buying on eBay. SM is going to reprint all the extra upgrade materials, so I can get the best out of Scythe, at a bit of a higher price than KS backers, but still worth it it seems from this video.
Incredible as it is, there are no card holder inserts & following the box layout instructions is impossible when using the huge zip lock bags to contain all of the loose super large cards. My special edition also came with two resource token boxes (not four), but there are four different resources.
+Jeff Rhind Meh...don't kick yourself too hard, partner. The KS was HUGELY successful. There's gonna be plenty of opportunity to pick up a copy. Pretty sure a lot of the premium components will be available for purchase separately as well, if you decide you can't live without them (the coins!) :)
Thanks for a great preview. I'd been on the fence about ordering this one, but after seeing your unboxing I'm definitely committed! The artwork is absolutely incredible! I wonder if the producers have considered releasing a companion book that displays the illustrations without any text overlays? If not, they definitely should.
+Richard Klug They have! I kinda wish I'd bumped up my KS pledge to get it. I believe you can purchase it separate from the publisher :) Check to be sure.
I couldn't agree more!!! Any way of getting any of the KS stuff? Will you be able to buy them separately.? This game will go to the top of my "must buy list"? This game and "Field Commander Napoleon" SHOULD be hung on the wall as art. ENJOY! Thanks again.
+Jim Smith Pretty sure you'll at least be able to buy the coins separately. Check Stonemaier's website to be sure. I provided a link in the video description that will take you right there. Jamey Stegmaier, the designer, is also active in the Scythe forums on BGG. That would be a great question to post! :)

I regret not getting in on this kickstarter. I'm going to have to get a copy of this. It looks great.
Thanks for the video.

impressive product and great presentation.

I missed the KS campaign. Kicking myself now. Big dummy! Looks amazing Derek. Looking forward to your Nuts and Bolts and Review on this one!

It seems all the accessories should be available from their website in August. Check here: stonemaiergames.com/buy-scythe/

Another game ill have to get looks gorgeous
Derek, just played a game of this last night with my brother and my friend. It is an awesome game. Absolutely incredible! I highly recommend it!
+john conner
It'll be awhile...still have to shoot my review for Night of Man. After that, I'm committed to Empire of the Sun :)
Right on.
Just sayin' it's an outstanding game and that you will enjoy it.
I dunno how it solos though. But I've played 3-player, and it's incredible!
I just got this in mail too. Its so massive, I need a re-boxing video!!!
games these days have lots of parts that take 15 min to punch out ; I've seen some nice custom insert trays for some of these
Did you pay into the Kickstarter??? Those metal coins are amazing... but the whole game seems that way...
+Jim Smith
Yes, I pledged for the KS. Yeah...these components are way beyond what I'm used to, that's for sure!

...but is the game any good?
+Dan S
I won't know until I play it. This was just an unboxing video.
I'll do a review video after I've had a chance to put it through it's paces.
