Stonemaier Games Scythe: Invaders from Afar Expansion – Albion & Togawa Factions, 1-7 Players | 140 Minutes

Expand Scythe with Invaders from Afar

Bring a fresh chapter to your Scythe experience with the Invaders from Afar expansion. Two distant factions arrive—Albion and Togawa—each carrying their own distinctive approach to conquest. Albion emphasizes steady growth and resilience, while Togawa adds agility and strategic tempo. The result is a richer, more dynamic battlefield where every decision ripples across a growing map of possibilities. This is not just more pieces; it’s a doorway to new strategies that can shift the course of a single game or a whole campaign.

Two New Factions, Two Distinct Styles

Albion and Togawa bring their own leaders, tactics, and silhouettes to the table. Expect different pacing, timing windows, and opportunities to leverage new maps and interactions. These factions invite experimentation, helping both new and seasoned players discover alternative routes to victory without straying from the core Scythe experience.

Play with More People

The expansion enables games with up to seven players, opening up large-session evenings with friends or family. Larger games offer a different rhythm—more negotiation, more competition, and a broader spectrum of alliances and rivalries. If you’ve wanted to host a party-style game night around Scythe, Invaders from Afar provides the lifted ceiling you need.

Solo Play with Automa

For solo enthusiasts or quick practice, an Automa system provides a challenging, turn-based opponent. On the Automa’s turn, you flip a card to see its action, letting you refine plans, test new faction ideas, or simply enjoy a solitary Scythe session that still feels reactive and strategic.

Beautiful Design and Immersive Art

Designed by Jamey Stegmaier and illustrated with Jakub Rozalski’s signature 1920s-inspired world, Invaders from Afar enhances table presence and immersion. The visuals carry the same evocative atmosphere as the base game, inviting players to linger over board setups, token textures, and map details.
