Scythe is a masterful combination of Euro and wargame mechanics all baked into the visually enticing backdrop of an uncanny dieselpunk setting. With space to develop countless strategies for multiple playstyles that evolve as you familiarize yourself, it's a game that requires commitment to ace. It's economically juicy with lots of moving parts, but it balances agency and randomness well enough that play feels purposeful. It ends a little quick, and can be a challenge to learn and master, but Scythe has set a gold standard for modern Euro-style games. Check Amazon
