Stonemaier Games has announced Invaders From Afar, an expansion for its alternate history boardgame Scythe, scheduled for a Winter 2016 release.

Scythe:  Invaders From Afar adds two new factions to the game:  Albion and Togawa.  The new factions each include five miniatures, 31 tokens, and a faction mat.  In addition to offering new player options, Invaders From Afar expands the game to a maximum of seven players, and includes pieces needed for the expanded game as well as new alternate abilities for some of the original five factions in the base game.

The expansion includes 10 miniatures, 62 wooden tokens, 2 faction mats, 6 Automa cards, 2 player mats, and a plastic insert to hold the components in either the expansion box or the base game box.  MSRP is $30.00.

Stonemaier premiered the steampunk-style mecha combat game at Gen Con after a very successful $1.8 million Kickstarter campaign (see “Alternate-History Mech Combat Game ‘Scythe’”).
