This expansion introduces a fully resettable eight-episode campaign alongside eleven modular options, letting you tailor the challenge to your group’s rhythm and preferences.

Campaign & Modular Play

• Campaign: an eight-episode storyline that advances Scythe’s world while offering surprises, unlocks, and persistent elements that reset for replayability.
• Modular: eleven modules that can be added in any combination, adapting to your preferred pace and number of players, plus a fully cooperative module.

What’s Inside and How It Feels

• 13 plastic miniatures to represent new forces and factions
• 62 wooden tokens for enhanced resource management and tracking
• 2 custom dice to introduce new action elements
• 25 tiles that expand strategic options and map variety
• 100+ cardboard tokens for quick setup and modular gameplay

Solo play is supported via Automa, creating a convincing one-player experience that mirrors the core game’s tempo. The package showcases Jakub Rozalski’s atmospheric artwork, enriching the setting and giving players a stronger sense of place as they navigate the evolving landscape. The Rise of Fenris is designed to be compatible with existing Scythe expansions, offering both continuity and fresh twists for veterans and newcomers alike.

Gameplay Experience

• For families, solo gamers, and groups: a zone-control and area-majority strategy game experience for 1–5 players (1–7 with Invaders from Afar)
• Session length typically ranges from 90 to 120 minutes, with a 15-minute setup time

Whether you’re seeking a narrative arc to unfold over several sessions or a customizable campaign night that fits your playgroup, The Rise of Fenris offers flexible options, beautiful presentation, and a path to new strategic challenges without sacrificing the core Scythe experience. The inclusion of a cooperative mode and Automa ensures that a wide range of players can enjoy the expansion together, at their own pace, and with evolving story beats that invite repeated tries.
