My Little Scythe by Hoby & Vienna Chou | A Competitive Family Strategy Board Game Where You Embark on Adventure with Your Animal Friends and Start Pie Fights | 1-6 Players, 60 Mins

What a wonderful and fun game. Easy to learn and play, relatively quick (20-30 minutes average). Beautiful artwork. Love the tokens and beautiful figurines. My 9 year old has actually been painting the figures (we got the unpainted version) which makes it even more special!

I love Scythe, and my 5-year-old son likes to help me play. I was feeling funny having him help me with the combat elements, so we purchased My Little Scythe to ensure a more kid-friendly option. Wow, it’s a very well designed game! It preserves many elements of the original, while slightly simplifying mechanics and removing the violent aspects. It’s not a watered-down game; it’s still quite a solid optimization puzzle and gameplay is tight. It’s almost more impressive to see this in action than the original. Quite a feat of game design. I highly, highly recommend My Little Scythe for a family-friendly game that stands on its own. Fantastic execution; Stonemaier always delivers excellence and this one is a gem! Ps: inclusion of the 7 animal types from the original plus expansion is a master stroke.

We are a family of 6 with kids ranging from 5-11. It is very difficult to find a game that we all can play and is fun for everyone. Most games cap out at 4 players. This can have all our family members playing and is easy to learn. The kids love the animal characters and my husband and I actually enjoy this as well. This is a good simplified introduction for when we let the older kids play real Scythe with us. Highly recommend! Worth the money for a good game to add to our collection.

Surprised by how fun this game is. Great that it supports 1-6 players and scales better than most games. Game looks a little intimidating for beginners but they've all picked it up after 2-3 turns. Most of our games end up coming down to a tie breaker at the end and we've played with a decent range of gamers from casual to frequent gamers. Game pieces look nice and are well built, the organizer trays are really great for making sure everything has a home. We've never played the original Scythe, but had no difficulty picking up this version. Have a few friends that bought their own copy after playing with us once. Highly recommend this for nearly all ages and skill ranges.

We play lots of board games. The typical "group" is an 8yo, a 12yo, a 15yo, and 2 adults and I'm *always* looking for games all of us can play at once. It's rare we're all be able to play together but the more games we have the entire group can play the better so we're not locked into the half dozen games that work for the rather large age range and 5 people. Good reviews and those requirements were a large driving force for picking up a copy of "My Little Scythe." While we *do* own a copy of "Scythe" it's not yet made it to the table to be able to compare the 2 games. The parts are incredibly well produced. The minis are excellent, heavy, and detailed. The board is *huge* - but needs to be in order to accommodate 6 players. It's also an attractive looking board. The cards are well designed. The insert is also very well done and has a bit of room for any expansions that might come along. It's the game play that left us rather flat. It's enjoyable enough, especially for a kid's game, but just doesn't have the depth we like. It's also just a bit too "polite" for our tastes. It's not that we like "take that" games, we don't, but this one has little competitive feel. We like that you can be rewarded for helping others but there are no consequences if you don't. It's almost like a huge game of multiplayer solitaire at times. It also takes a bit of time to set up and tear down and feels like this takes longer than playing the game. I'd really hoped the 2 youngest would take to this one as the 8yo sometimes gets a bit overwhelmed with some of the more "advanced" games we play. In all fairness, her favorite game at the moment is "Ticket to Ride: New York" and she does very well playing it. The 8yo enjoyed "My Little Scythe" but after playing 3 times has never asked for it again. That's quite telling for her and with the rest of us quite bored with those first 3 plays means this one won't hit the table very often, if ever again. That's a shame as it's very well produced and quite attractive.

Simple enough for my 7 year old...engaging enough for my 16 year old, interesting enough for the adult gamer.

High quality and fun game.

This game is PERFECT for kids, but it is also great for adults that want to explore board gaming beyond the basics. The solo variant is also brilliantly designed. I feel like this game will satisfy anywhere from 1-6 players working together or against each other. This was designed as a free for all game, but it can also be played as a team-based game against automated opponents with scaling difficulty. Overall I’m just really happy with this purchase. It has tons of replayability and will be hitting my table frequently

El juego está muy divertido y muy familiar. No se siente tan infantil por lo que adultos lo disfrutan por igual. Los componentes del juego están excelentes y el inserto está muy bien planeado. Muy recomdable!!

The kids love this game and it's interesting enough to keep the adults entertained too.

Great for slightly older kids, beautiful production

せっかく自分で日本語訳してカードに貼り付けたのに～ もう日本語版でるんかい！(≧▽≦)b これは名作サイズ大鎌戦役の子供向け簡易版として作られたボドゲです。 だからルールはサイズの基本と全く同じです。 でもサイズよりも複雑でなく判り易く子供も大人も同時に楽しめる傑作だと思う。 私は日本語版出るのを知らずに英語版を買ったけど・・・ 日本語版が出るなら、その方がお奨めでしょう。 ただし英語自体は難しくなく量も多くないので、 子供向けの英語学習の一環としても英語版なら使えてお得かもしれません。 ゲームシステムが名作サイズ大鎌戦役の簡易版なので面白さは保証済です。 しかもゲーム時間がサイズよりもず～と短いので何回でも繰り返し遊べます。 なによりも全員が勝利しうるので、そういう点でもファミリーゲームとして楽しめます。 未だ寒さの残る季節に室内で家族で遊ぶにはうってつけのボドゲです。

届いた時から箱が潰れてます。シュリンクも破れ汚れ引っ掻き傷が目立つ。中身は輸入したままみたいでそのままです。せめて日本語訳の取り扱い説明書をつけて欲しい。これなら米Amazonで頼んだ方がいい。安いし、潰れてても仕方ないかなって諦められるし。ボードゲームをAmazonで買って本当に後悔したの初めてだわ。箱に傷がある事。中身は問題ない事。最初から書いて。ぼったくりだわ。
