1. Stonemaier Games Expeditions Playmat
This playmat, designed for the game Expeditions (a sequel to Scythe), is double-sided. One side features only the beautiful artwork by Jakub Rozalski, while the other side has specific spaces for hexagons and cards. This 900 x 900 mm playmat elevates your Expeditions experience to a new level.
2. Stonemaier Games Scythe: The Wind Gambit
Scythe: Colossi of the Skies contains two modular expansions: Airships and Resolutions. The airship module was originally created and shared by Kai Starck in the Scythe Facebook group. Jamey read the rules and was impressed by both what the airships added to the game and the effort Kai had put into the expansion by writing the rules and playtesting. So Kai, Jakub and Jamey worked together to refine the airship module.
In the airship module, 2 airship tiles are randomly combined at the start of the game (1 passive and 2 aggressive; there are 16 tiles in total). Each player's airship miniature model (a new unit type; 1 large miniature model for each of the 7 factions [the sculpts are identical and the bases have different colours to match the factions]) has these abilities as well as the core ability that airships can move freely to any territory (land or water) and cross rivers. Each player starts with their airship at their home base, so they can immediately move out of their home territory. The airship miniatures measure 101x33x41mm and have clear, removable plastic stands/bases.
In the Resolution module, Resolution tokens add a twist to how each game ends. There are 8 of them, and one is used in each game. They often have an impact on the decisions you will make during the game.
3. Stonemaier Games Expeditions
The sequel to Scythe takes players on a new adventure in Siberia, where a massive meteorite has crashed near the Tunguska River, awakening ancient corruption.
An expedition led by Dr. Tarkovsky ventures into the taiga to learn more about the meteorite and its impact on the earth. In search of adventure, the war heroes privately finance their own expeditions to Siberia, hoping to find artifacts, overcome challenges, and ultimately achieve glory.
Move your mech to mysterious locations and earn cards found among the tiles. Use workers, items, meteorites, and quests to upgrade your mech, and employ power and cunning to defeat corruption.
4. Stonemaier Games Expeditions - Ironclad Edition
The sequel to Scythe sends players on a new adventure into Siberia, where a massive meteorite crashed near the Tunguska River, awakening ancient corruption. An expedition led by Dr. Tarkovsky ventures into the taiga to learn about the meteorite and its impact on the land. Itching for adventure, heroes from the war privately fund their own expeditions to Siberia, hoping to find artifacts, overcome challenges, and ultimately achieve glory.
Expeditions is a competitive, card-driven, engine-building game of exploration. It is designed to evoke similar feelings to Scythe even though the mechanisms are different: play cards to gain power, guile, and unique worker abilities; move your mech to mysterious locations and gain cards found among the tiles; use workers, items, meteorites, and quests to enhance your mech; and use power and guile to vanquish corruption.
The Ironclad Edition of Expeditions features five large metal mechs (instead of plastic miniatures) and silicon base snaps (instead of plastic), as well as an individually numbered box with foil lettering.
