Scythe: The Wind Gambit, an expansion for Scythe, adds two new modules: airships (7 huge miniatures and 16 ability tiles) and resolutions (8 tiles that change the end-game trigger), as well as Automa components for solo play.
The airship miniatures are way bigger than I expected, and sliding one across the board instantly changes how everyone plans their moves. The ability tiles add just enough chaos without dragging the game out. Our four-player group finished in about the same time as a normal game.
The resolution tiles fixed the one thing that bugged me about the base game—knowing exactly when it would end. Now nobody can just turtle up and count turns, and the airship minis are honestly gorgeous on the table.
The airships completely change how you plan your moves, and those 7 miniatures look fantastic on the board. The resolution tiles are the real winner though, since nobody knows exactly when the game will end anymore.
