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.

• 1 double-sided board (624x818mm, same size as the standard Scythe board)
• 4 double-sided tiles (7 hexes per tile)
• 8 home base tiles
• 8 structure bonus tiles

• Automa rules for solo play

The building placement bonus tiles feels like it could have been a promotional pack. The board is interestign opening new opportunities up but it really isn't needed unless you play super regularly.

Nicely stirs up the usual strategies and neighbors, but some positions can be much better than others. The new building bonus tiles are nice.
