Expeditions

The sequel to Scythe sends players on a new adventure into Siberia, where a massive meteorite crashed near the Tunguska River, awakening ancient corruption. An expedition led by Dr. Tarkovsky ventures into the taiga to learn about the meteorite and its impact on the land. Itching for adventure, heroes from the war privately fund their own expeditions to Siberia, hoping to find artifacts, overcome challenges, and ultimately achieve glory. Expeditions has completely different mechanisms than Scythe, though the goal was to capture some of the same feelings that Scythe evokes, with a slightly darker, more supernatural theme.

ThePacheco
ThePacheco5/10
Feels kinda "meh", the game works but it just doesn't feel fun, feels more like doing small chores, many small steps you have to take just to finally do something, small turns that don't feel exciting at all, there is little downtime because of it but still, a lot of your turns will be just advancing small steps to finally achieve something, feels kinda tedious in that sense... Also it feels kinda repetitive, since you are mostly doing the same thing for the whole game. We were disappointed and we were not even expecting it to play like Scythe like some people did.

Probado la primera y no estuvo mal, lo jugue por segunda vez y ya no quise jugarlo mas. Un Scythe mas abreviado de cartas y megahexagonos con unas figuras muy chulas como siempre, nada mas.

El juego ofrece poco, al pasar los turnos de va a sintiendo aburrido, la partida es muy plana, no desarrolla como uno esperaría en un juego que se supone es una secuela de Scythe. Aburrido por lo repetitivo y el tiempo que consume jugarlo.

This game needs something, really like the mechanics but it need more content. Like the expansion that should be planned because the box have place for it.
