The Scythe: Modular Board expansion allows you to change the landscape of Eastern Europa every time you play Scythe thanks to its double-sided game board and four large double-sided landscape tiles. Faction locations, i.e., the home base tiles, change each time you play.
The modular board adds a drafting element to set-up, along with a variant for a tighter map at lower player counts.

• 4 double-sided tiles (7 hexes per tile)

I liked this a lot. It can make the game unbalanced, but it’s a fun Challenge. Adds more than the windgambit.

[b]Pros:[/b] * Allows you to generate a different map each time you play with a double sided board and four double sided six hex location tiles. * Allows you to scale the map size according to how tight you want to make it for a given player count. * New building bonus tiles for additional ways to score buildings. * Compatible with any of the other expansions. [b]Cons:[/b] * There are far more lake tiles than on the original board. Perhaps this favours those factions that are able to traverse water? * The modular terrain tiles warp slightly meaning they won't sit entirely flat are are liable to be easily moved or spun around. [b]Summary:[/b] All in all, worth buying if you feel the openings in regular Scythe are scripted. Also helps if you want to scale the map to better support lower player counts.
