Scythe: The Rise of Fenris - How To Play

[@DeadMyth110]

we all wish to have a friend like Rodney, who knows how to play every board game

[@WatchItPlayed]

I wish that too! Just don't ask me the rules after 4 months :)

Hey! English is my second language and I was able to understand everything. Thank you so much! My girlfriend already knows how to play Scythe, but now I gotta explain her the rules of the rise of fenris.. and it will take me sometime, but thanks to you now I can do it! Also I rather watch your videos than Spanish videotutorials, some aren’t that accurate!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad to hear this helped Felipe! Have a great time playing :)

[@emile5921]

Dont even play Scythe but I can tell from the video u have helped a lot of fans! You are awesome Rodney!

[@toweypat]

Emile who knows, you might play it some day. Then you'll really be glad you watched! It happened to me.

[@emile5921]

@@toweypat This has happened to me already with other games that Rodney has shown. He does a great work here indeed! Following him since the very beginning. I doubt I will find the time to play this game though. Looks awesome though!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for he very kind comment Emile - appreciate you being with the channel for so long!

[@FrankMinogue]

It looks like this may be more fun with more players. I am going to try and get my daughter and he boyfriend involved. I will have them play Scythe a few times and then we can set out on the campaign. My daughter has already played Scythe (and she beat my wife and I, BTW)......

[@jackgibson7151]

I just picked this up for Christmas. I can’t wait! Thank you Rodney!

[@Airdaman1]

Its great!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome Jack, I hope you have a great time with it over the holidays!

[@markushennes8191]

I have this on my wishlist too!

[@reneejuneculaway7084]

you did it again Rodney. you convinced me to buy a game (expansion in this case) that i never thought i’d be interested in. just like most of the other games in my shelf. 😅 great video as always 😀

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you Renee, I hope you have a lot of fun going through the campaign (or playing the modules!)

[@mireah]

Looks like a very interesting expansion, only problem is I now need to buy the airships one also. They look really cool.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you liked what you saw!

[@zimbauergamewerks6135]

Thank you for this video and for your spoiler alerts that I have indeed heeded so far! I will be coming back to this video as we play through the campaigns!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Sounds great - glad the warnings were suitable to help you avoid any surprises :)

[@FrankMinogue]

I just got mine! I am going to watch this and get ready to start this weekend!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have fun!

[@RookSac4865]

How did it go?

[@FrankMinogue]

@@RookSac4865 actually it never happened. The group had to cancel, and we never have played.... :(

[@markushennes8191]

Well done Rodney as usual 👍

[@craigminakata4973]

Will you be doing a playthrough of Scythe in the near future?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I avoid pre-announcing videos, as my schedule can change and I don't like to disappoint.

[@Xhawk33]

Thanx for doing this! Ive always wondered what was in those boxes :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Mystery revealed!

[@chienloc6527]

Thanks for your videos, I saved so much time to learn how to play this game and know how to teach my friend to play

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank for for the kind feedback, that's great to hear!

[@grahamgentz3580]

Thanks Rodney you rock

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you GG!

[@Mat23]

Great walkthrough Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you very much!

[@loonylenny]

Fantastic I just bought it today!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you have a great time with it Lenny!

[@loonylenny]

I plan to!

[@t.2880]

Great, thanks so much for this video!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome!

[@igor13st]

Hello Rodny, grate videos! You help me for a lot of boaard games to understand better! Can you please explain more about death ray meach skill from Fenris? is that meens if I use for fighting 3 combat cards of strength 2 (total 6 power) do I need to use for all next fights in the rest of the game only cards with power 2 and card with 4,3 or 5 power i can't use after? I don't understand weary well.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hi Igor, I do by best to answer all rules questions on the games I cover, but I avoid individual card effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. I hope you can find your answer there - have fun playing!

[@igor13st]

@@WatchItPlayed Thank you Rodney, I will try to find.

[@geoffrobson23]

Thanks for the great video as always Rodney. Re: the new factions, can they be used in a regular game of Scythe to expand to 6-7 players? (Sorry if you mentioned that and I missed it or if it’s a really obvious answer - I’m still new to Scythe).

[@WatchItPlayed]

Good question Geoff - I assume so!

[@Zelllor]

I have some questions about the orange faction, if I play with him on a regular game without those additional, do I have to play with his tokens ? Or his tokens is for an addition of more challenge ? - Following question: if I play solo (for example: Im rusviet - red and the automa is poland - white) with all the additions (airships, Tesla and etc) what do I do with the orange faction's tokens ? And where do I put them ? (Sorry for being rude) -- Following question for the Following question: If I play with the orange faction vs automa with the additions, what do I do with his tokens ? Do I put them on the map like you did, or do I put them on achievements ? Another question: when Tesla became with my team ? (Put him in my home base) And when Tesla became 'Mad Tesla' (against everyone)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hi Sagi, these aren't rude at all. I wish I could give you more helpful answers, but I'm actually a bit confused by some of the questions. Sometimes text isn't as easy as communicating information as being in front of each other with the game, and I think that might be the challenge here. Also, it sounds like some of these questions might need to be run by the publisher themself, as they seem to be about using new factions in the regular style of play (and I shot this long enough ago that I'm not sure I have the knowledge to answer that anymore).

[@Zelllor]

@@WatchItPlayed thank you for your help :D

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@Zelllor Sorry I wasn't able to help more!

[@ANARCHY-nr2lq]

I really want this,, I just now got into scythe but I cant find this anywhere. Not on amazon or ebay. Can only find Italian and Spanish versions on Ebay. Cant find a English version anywhere :/

[@WatchItPlayed]

It might be out of print, but that usually means a new printing is under way.

[@AlexNguyen]

Just want to confirm (didn't see it in the index) - automa is not covered in this video?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Correct.

[@GlennDeBlock]

Can all 3 expansions be played together? :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes!

[@TheMorlock86]

Can anyone tell me if the peace & war tracks are only used in episode 2 or if they carry over for the later rounds? Thanks

[@WatchItPlayed]

[mild spoilers] Please follow the setup instructions for each episode exactly as written. If there’s something not included in those setup steps, don’t include it. Peace and war tracks are only mentioned in the setup of specific episodes; when they’re not mentioned, you should not include them. Hope that helps!

[@carveking]

Is this spoiler free for the most part?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Everything is shown, BUT, you will get warnings before any spoilers are shown. In other words, you can start to watch, and you'll be told when it gets into the "secret" stuff, so you can turn off if you want and come back later (there is a clickable index in the description if you want to look up things later.

[@carveking]

@@WatchItPlayed Thank you for the response. I was hesitant to even start watching the video.

[@unlimitedrabbit]

Is this spoiler free?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes, and no - it teaches each section of the campaign in parts, so you only have to watch the part you are currently on. If you watch past the part you are currently playing, then yes, you'd get spoilers.
