Tabletop games

Scythe

Have the most coins at the end of the game. Stars, territories and resources earn coins, all the more so if your faction is popular.

You’ll need the game box. Marquoir sums up the rules and keeps score.

Setup

Each player receives a faction mat, a player mat, their character, two workers, and their mechs, structures and recruits.
Starting popularity, power and coins are shown on the mats.
Reveal the structure bonus tile and deal two Objective cards to each player.

On your turn, choose a section of your player mat, different from the one used on your previous turn.
Take the top-row action (Move, Trade, Produce, Bolster), then, if you can pay for it, the bottom-row action (Upgrade, Deploy, Build, Enlist).
Combat breaks out when you move into a territory occupied by an opponent's character or mech: each side secretly commits power and combat cards.
You place a star when you achieve a feat: all upgrades, all mechs, all structures, all recruits, all workers, an objective, a combat victory (two at most), 18 popularity or 16 power.

Depending on your popularity: from 0 to 6, star 3, territory 2, pair of resources 1; from 7 to 12, 4, 3 and 2; from 13 to 18, 5, 4 and 3.
The Factory counts as three territories.
Add the coins already in hand and the structure bonus.

Do workers count towards controlling a territory?

Yes: a territory is controlled by whoever has a unit there (character, mech, worker) or, failing that, a structure. Lakes do not count.
