My Little Scythe is pie fighting fun

Over the last few weeks we’ve spent quite a few of our regular game nights playing Scythe on-line. I seem to have a love-hate relationship which Scythe. The love is directly proportional to how well the last game went. At the moment I regard not coming last as a badge of honour, and I’m working my way up from there.

My Little Scythe is stepping stone (or gateway drug if you prefer) to the “proper” game. When we played it today I spotted a lot of the gameplay elements in a much simplified form. And you don’t have battles. You have pie fights. One of the things about full fat Scythe that I find a bit annoying is that some features of the game just seem to be there to make the gameplay more complicated. There are (to me) needless interactions between game elements and lots of different ducks that you have to get precisely in a row to be able to make progress. Perhaps what I’m really saying is that I don’t have the mental horsepower and concentration to play the game properly.

My Little Scythe is much simpler and I liked it a lot. But then again, I did manage to win.
