Scythe Encounters is a boxed set of 32 new promo encounter cards designed by fans of Scythe and developed into the final cards by Jamey Stegmaier. It is recommend to play with this deck of cards by itself a few times to experience the new options before shuffling them into the original encounter deck.

Some of these encounters are really awesome, but some are tough or less fun, especially early in game play. It is nice to have the additional variety, but there are definitely times I prefer to use just the original encounter cards.

Only played with the encounters deck once... it can be a bit unbalanced/cheesy, but good for a more casual/fun game.

So, I appreciate some you of the creative mechanics, and the artwork is beautiful. I feel that some of the cards are well done, and probably have an eventual home in the full encounter deck. However, when mixed with the more powerful cards, you end up with swingy results. One player may get to pay 5 coins to buy a factory card and destroy the rest of them... while another may get the standard 2 coins and a popularity. If anything. The crazy powerful cards by themselves might make for a chaotic crazy game, but you’ll want to curate them to be able to have a level experience for all players.
