I agree that the icons are too small but they are colour-coded so you can go by the overall colour. For example, Pink=Silk.

I was puzzled that I didn't get any viking actions on turn 2 in a game just now. (table 862782692). Now we're on to turn 3, I see that there's a pass button which forfeits all remaining actions and I suppose that I must have clicked this in error somehow. This is a silly option as I can't see why pl...

1. The theme is a weird mashup of 1920s history, mechs from another era and talking animals This is funny because the alt history theme with seemingly anachronistic mechs is exactly what is appealing to many people about Scythe.

Here is an example. It does it correctly, two 3-player games. Notice how there are no byes. https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=486838 That's a great example, thanks. I like that the tournament match-up grid fits nicely onto the screen without much horizontal scrolling. That's because there we...

what's "Game maximum duration"? Is the game forced to end after the game has lasted for what the maximum duration is? Or are we always guaranteed to play the game to its natural conclusion? The game ends abruptly when it reaches the max duration and, usually, the winner is the player with...
