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.

I love this expansion. Jim Dunnigan said new maps mean a new game. This is especially true of Scythe. Part of why Rusviet / Industrial, and Crimea / Patriotic are banned is the board location. Now it's not so much an issue.

Generally speaking, I'd prefer to play with the expanded standard board, but I haven't tried the draft variant for this yet, which may move my opinion.

In theory this would be a great expansion. Creating varying starting conditions instead of playing on the same stale map. In practice though it can create weird balancing issues. For example we randomized a map that put the Nordic starting position nowhere near a single river tile,thus rendering their ability and consequently the faction completely useless. OK,you could switch the tile ,someone could argue ,and put some rivers closer to their starting position but then why would you not switch another tile to make another faction more viable to choose?And so on and so forth. You would have to have a group that is OK with houseruling parts of the setup for this to be a recommendable expansion.
