@Penny That's great, I take it you are interested!
@sassy1085 It's probably better you know it if you play, but I'm completely happy to explain, and if you are still interested, even better!
Basically, it's a board game about conquering an area of land around a very prosperous, profiteering, independent city called "The Factory." Which produces and sells, weaponry, and tools such as mechs. It's called scythe because mechs, one of the main focuses, are both weaponry and tools. It's a steampunk, rural, eastern block country setting. The 8 factions kind of represent different real-life countries, these may not be quite right, but it goes, Polania Republic - Poland, Saxony Empire - Germany, Crimean Khanate - Turkey, Nordic Kingdom - Scandinavia (Idk), Rusviet Union, Soviet Union/Russia, Clan Albion - Britain, Togawa Shogunate - Japan. They all have different styles of mech and have a representative, an actual character, who leads the part of that army. I think I covered most things, but if you have any other question feel free to ask.
