I'm a board game lover from way back - and I agree, this looks really complicated, and I never got that "I've got to play it" feeling from looking at the pics and the write up.

After all these years, I still drag out my ancient boxes of "Shogun" and "Axis & Allies" if I want to occupy 4 to 7 hours with my friends... Those games have the right level of strategy, fun, diplomacy, and ease of play as any game I've tried.

One of the main reason I like scythe is it can be played in less than 1.5 hours. I've played axis and allies in the past, but I don't really enjoy games that take that long to play.
