Scythe: The Wind Gambit

I grabbed this mostly for the airship models and they look fantastic on the table, the steam-driven sculpts really sell the whole Eastern Europa theme. The way airships move freely across the sky changes how you plan your turns, and my group hasn't stopped talking about it since our first game.

I was worried the airship rules would feel tacked on, but the resolution cards genuinely change how you plan each turn. Watching a steam-driven behemoth drift over the front line while everyone scrambles to react is the most fun I've had with this game in ages.

The airship miniatures alone make this worth it — they're detailed and feel substantial on the table. Adds a whole new layer of strategy to the base game without bloating playtime.
