ScytheKick is an unofficial companion app for the award-winning board game Scythe by Stonemaier Games, designed to enhance gameplay by helping players configure the game, manage Automa (automated players), and calculate scores. Users start by selecting total player and Automa counts, along with any desired expansions. The app provides an intuitive interface to choose player factions and mats, with features for random selection and manual entry of player names.
While the free version supports two base game players and one Automa, upgrades enable more players and additional faction access. The app also includes in-app purchases for extra modules, such as Structure Bonus Tiles and components from the Wind Gambit expansion. After gameplay, players can input scores in different categories, and ScytheKick efficiently calculates totals for a final summary that can be shared.
For those playing with Automa, the app features dedicated pages for each player, facilitating easy turn management and card drawing. The Automa Helper upgrade offers a map for tracking units and simplifies movement rules.
ScytheKick allows users to manage in-app purchases, access a user guide, and customize game settings, including sound volume and scoring options. Created with the permission of the game’s designer, the app enhances the Scythe experience while maintaining the integrity of the original game.
