Folded Space - Raiders of Scythia

Many centuries ago, the Greek, Persian and Assyrian empires controlled vast amounts of land and riches. Yet, despite their fortifications and imposing armies, rumours began spreading of a formidable foe in the lands above the Black Sea. They came on horseback. Fierce warriors, both male and female. Skilled with the sword, axe and bow. But they weren’t mindless savages. Their artisans were renowned for their ability to craft detailed trinkets of gold. They fashioned leather armour and improvised the recurve bow. They trained eagles for hunting and war. Some even believe they inspired the Greek tales of the Amazons. But they were more than legend or fable. They were the Raiders of Scythia.

The aim of Raiders of Scythia is to be the player with the most Victory Points (VP) at the game’s end. VP are gained by raiding Settlements, taking Plunder and completing Quests. Players will need to assemble a Crew, train Animals and gather Provisions. The game ends when there is only 2 unraided Settlements or 2 Quests remaining on the Main Board.

Raiders of Scythia

Good game, very similar to raiders of the North Sea. Highly recommend if you have one, you probably don’t need the other

A Better Raiders

I’ve played Raiders of the North Sea and enjoyed it, but Raiders of Scythia is so much better! Personally I like the art-style and theme better, but where it excels is in the more dynamic card play. The animals (eagles and horses) take it to the next level. Must buy for those who like fast decisions in a worker placement tableau builder.

Great solo raiding game!

As this is my first worker replacement game, the manual makes it easy to get right into the game. Rules are clear and easy to understand. I only play this game solo and it is quite fun.

Gain resources (cards, coins, food, crew etc) go raiding! The Ai will keep you on your toes.

Some may claim this game is repetitive, what game isn't? If you are not raiding, you will fall behind and the Ai will take the win away from you!
