How It Plays

Area Majority / Influence

You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.

Card Play Conflict Resolution

Conflicts are resolved by playing cards instead of rolling dice — it puts the outcome more in your hands.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Force Commitment

You must commit your forces before knowing the outcome — it's a nail-biting gamble on where to focus.

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Hexagon Grid

The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.

Movement Points

You get a set number of movement points to spend on moving your pieces — plan your path carefully.

Narrative Choice / Paragraph

You read story passages and make branching decisions — your choices steer the plot in different directions.

About This Game

My Little Scythe is a competitive, family-friendly game in which each player controls 2 animal miniatures embarking upon an adventure in the Kingdom of Pomme. In an effort to be the first to earn 4 trophies from 8 possible categories, players take turns choosing to Move, Seek, or Make. These actions will allow players to increase their friendship and pies, power up their actions, complete quests, learn magic spells, deliver gems and apples to Castle Everfree, and perhaps even engage in a pie fight.…
