In June 2018, Scythe fans were invited to make a design for ONE encounter card using specific art. Jamey reviewed the submissions, selected his favorites (often mixing and matching various submissions), and developed them. Now the Scythe Encounters promo boxed set is a reality!
Scythe Encounters is a boxed set of 32 brand-new promo encounter cards. These cards feature a number of innovations in the encounter system. We recommend that you play with them on their own for a few games; after that you can shuffle them into the regular encounter deck.

Used for the first time for the Fenris campaign, the extra cards allowed us to set aside those revealed to ensure every encounter in the (3 player) 8 game campaign was unique. A few seemed over-powered, but we'll continue to use them in future games.

Las nuevas cartas de encuentro le dan una gran variedad al juego, y ademas hace que no todas las opciones sean iguales (o muy parecidas) como pasaba en el juego base.

There's some cool stuff in here but some of the more situational cards and the cards the cards that are more take-that in nature can be disappointing to draw.
