About

Scythe Hepler

Features
Read full description

This application is an assistant for the board game "Scythe". The purpose of the application is to help players calculate the total result of the game and determine the winner. Scythe is a board game set in an alternate 1920s. This is a time of war and harvest, of broken hearts and rusty cars, of innovation and valor. I really hope that this application will help you enjoy this wonderful game.
