May get to be higher. Kind of waiting on a full play, but the first unfinished game we played showed a lot of promise!

Rock solid worker placement game that is a refinement of Raiders of the North Sea. I particularly enjoy Sam Phillips artwork in this one, with the crew member cards being particularly colorful! The crew building aspects are really interesting and fun, along with the race for the best spots to raid. You can build some really interesting crews that combo well with your unique leader power. (+ Metal Coins - preordered) (+ Four Heroes Promo - preordered) (+ Huntress & Stableman Promo - preordered)

[puzzle 7.5 replay 7 invest 7.7 solo 4] sound resource converter disguised with 'invading' theme, art/theme elevates the game, but variability between different characters didn't feel varied enough

Many centuries ago, the Greek, Persian and Assyrian empires controlled vast amounts of land and riches. Yet, despite their fortifications and imposing armies, rumours began spreading of a formidable foe in the lands above the Black Sea. They came on horseback. Fierce warriors, both male and female. Skilled with the sword, axe and bow. But they weren’t mindless savages. Their artisans were renowned for their ability to craft detailed trinkets of gold. They fashioned leather armour and improvised the recurve bow. They trained eagles for hunting and war. Some even believe they inspired the Greek tales of the Amazons. But they were more than legend or fable. They were the Raiders of Scythia.

The aim of Raiders of Scythia is to be the player with the most Victory Points (VP) at the game’s end. VP are gained by raiding Settlements, taking Plunder and completing Quests. Players will need to assemble a Crew, train Animals and gather Provisions. The game ends when there is only 2 unraided Settlements or 2 Quests remaining on the Main Board.
