My Little Scythe from Stonemaier Games
Stonemaier Games has announced the August release of My Little Scythe:
Stonemaier Games, known for high-quality, critically acclaimed Euro-style board games, will release its first family-friendly design, My Little Scythe this summer. The game will premiere at Gen Con and release to trade on August 17.
My Little Scythe began as a fan-inspired print-and-play game using Scythe mechanics, mashed up with Hasbro’s My Little Pony. The Stonemaier edition has changed slightly (no ponies), but impressed the publisher enough to warrant a trade release.
Players in My Little Scythe each control two animal miniatures, travelling around the Kingdom of Pomme. Players are competing to earn 4 trophies from 8 possible categories, using actions on their turn to Move, Seek, or Make. The actions can increase players friendship, produce pies, power up actions, finish quests, learn spells, transport gems and apples to the castle, or even start a pie fight!
In a world where art imitates life imitating art, comes My Little Scythe. For real. No ponies though. https://t.co/LD44QuzuYv pic.twitter.com/dZ5K4THnQC

Final Scythe expansion announced
Stonemaier Games has announced the third and final expansion for Scythe:
Scythe: The Rise of Fenris is set in the same post-apocalyptic steampunk world as the base game and earlier expansions, and is fully compatible with all previous expansions. The heart of The Rise of Fenris is an eight-part campaign that uses a number of features commonly found in “legacy” style games, including secret components in sealed tuckboxes and persistent changes to the game from scenario to scenario. Unlike a typical legacy game, however, this expansion can be completely reset and replayed. In addition, the 11 modules that make up the campaign can all be used independently or combined as players see fit, even when not playing the campaign version.
Expected release date for the expansion is August/September 2018 (Gencon release) and we will offer it for pre-orders as soon as we have the details for the UK release.
