Immerse yourself in a strategy game that transports you to an alternate reality in 1920s Europa inspired by unique paintings of Jakub Różalski. Scythe: Digital Edition is now available DRM-free on GOG.COM with a 50% discount lasting until 15th July, 1 PM UTC. Assume the command of one of 5 factions and lead your mechs to war and your people to victory.
great to see this come here
As much as I like boardgames, I can never get excited about their digital versions. It just isn't the same as playing against people across the table.
Cool that GOG gets this one. Wishlisted for now.
Good game. Shame it's so late ariving on GOG.

I totally understand the approach, but the "real" game (Scythe) is much more expensive than the digital version (not surprising, due to huge amount of elements inside), so in this particular case, digital version is (IMO) actually a reasonable option. Not to mention about saving time with dealing with so many cards, pawns etc.

I'm personally happy about this release, mostly because I was more eager to play this than RTS in the same universe (and I was jealous that only steam has this game)
Does this have local multiplayer?

Edit: PCGW says it supports hotseat, can anyone confirm this please?

Also, even if you intend to play the boardgame, the digital version is a great way of learning it. You can even try it out before dishing out cash and getting a big box in return.

Wait, there is an RTS game of this theme/universe?
Did some trademark shenanigans result in a rename here? Wasn't this called Iron Harvest?

[EDIT] No that is still here https://www.gog.com/game/iron_harvest

Hm, somehow interesting, but won`t run on my laptop, despite the fact that it looks like it`s 20 years old!
I'm very excited to see this game here; Added to cart along with ticket to ride. I hope Asmodee Digital will release Pandemic and Gloomhaven when it's out of early access here as well.

Good catch! Both games take place in the same setting (Jakub Różalski's World of 1920). They are very different games otherwise.

Is this similar to Settlers of Catan?

Not first hand but Gogs game page itself advertises it in the games features:

• Fight alone against an AI, face your friends in Hotseat or face opponents from all over the world in Online Mode
