Scythe vs. Root – Which is Better?

Scythe. Root. Both amazing, popular, faction-based area control games yet very different! Which one is better? Which one would YOU like more? Which one should you BUY?

In this in depth analysis, I break down both games according to their theme, mechanics, luck strategy and complexity.

Also, full disclosure: you will notice I use an iOS version (exclusively) for all Scythe gameplay. That’s because this is a non-sponsored video published by an independent channel! I don’t have $60 to spend on a game just to make a video (#goals) But, if you’d like to help me out, here’s how you can support me:
