Product Overview

Raiders of Scythia sends 1-4 players to the lands above the Black Sea, where fierce horseback warriors raid Settlements and complete Quests to earn Victory Points. It's a worker placement game with dice rolling, hand management, set collection, and variable player powers, and every turn gives players a choice of two actions. If a spot is open, a worker goes there; if it's taken, players can remove a worker instead, so there's always a move worth making. Built for ages 12+ with an average playtime around 60 minutes, it rewards players who think ahead about sequencing their actions.

1-4 players raid Settlements and complete Quests in "mini-races" to rack up Victory Points, with two actions available every turn.
Blends worker placement with dice rolling, hand management, set collection, and variable player powers for layered strategy.
Comes packed with pieces to dig into: 4 Player Boards, 26 Quests, 136 Cards, a Plunder Bag, 4 Score Markers, and 32 Silver pieces.
Smart design guarantees a meaningful action every turn: place a worker where there's room, or pull one out if the spot's blocked.
About 60 minutes per game makes it a solid pick for repeat play and family game night strategy sessions.
