In the summer of 2018 Stonemaier challenged Scythe fans around the world to design 32 new encounter cards. The result was an outpouring of creativity and clever writing that Scythe designer Jamey Stegmaier distilled, honed, and added to. While these cards can and should be shuffled in with your other encounter cards, it is recommend that people play a few games just with this new promo deck, sight unseen.
