This is a fantastic video. The tone didn't quite match the game itself, but that didn't matter. Hilarious and insightful, and very unique in style. Keep 'em coming!
This channel is amazing. You guys really bring a unique style in your videos that provides a different look on games and complements lovely with other reviews. THIS IS GREAT
God damn it this channel is so freaking GOOD, I just realized that my toddler is speaking the most advanced version of the language there is. PLEASE, MORE, SPEED, REVIEW
This video is paced like roller coaster ride - now that it's over I have white knuckles and trouble breathing, but ooohboy was it fun and must watch again
only been watching your videos for 2/3 days and already knew Daniel would give this game a high score and Ashton would be less enthusiastic. Great Channel guys.
Hey Daniel and Ashton, I discovered your channel a little while ago but have been checking it out more lately... just wanted to say you guys are killing it! This has to be one of the best reviews ever, and definitely the best one I've seen so far for Oath (and I say that having done one ourselves on our channel, which we felt really good about, but this is like a third of the length). You guys covered so much about this game in like 8 1/2 minutes (not counting the outro). Haven't seen a speed review like this yet. I also watched a good chunk of your Tainted Grail one recently, and you guys clearly put a TON of time and effort into that and it's super in-depth, and probably the ideal review for someone who's actually wondering whether or not they want to buy the game... for me, as someone who never feels like I have enough time to watch all the board game videos I want on RUclips, this one was really a breath of fresh air. I wish I had time to watch all your videos, but I had to take a minute to comment on this one because it's a real standout. I shared it in a recent thread on Reddit about best board game reviews, I hope more people check it out. Looking forward to seeing what else you guys have in store for the channel, and hope to meet you guys some day at a convention or something and play some games. - Carlo
hey Carlo! Ashton here, thanks for all the awesome praise! Hope to see ya in a convention too one day for sure, we've actually never been to one yet, but it would be an awesome time! Cheers man!
@@Shelfside Dylann (other half of AYCB) and I have never been to a convention either, we were starting to think we were the only ones! One day it'll happen though, when it feels safer, hopefully sooner rather than later. I mostly just meant you guys seem like the type of people we'd love to game with, and a convention seems like the most natural place to meet. Anyway, take care and keep up the awesome work on the RUclips channel.
This review was so, so good. Surprisingly good. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised since it isfrom Shelfside, as your content is consistently great, but you guys took it to the next level.
Amazing video, great for someone to decide wether they will enjoy it. If they think they won't, this video is enough, and if you do you can always watch other videos and do more research
I havn't tried 2, but I have a feeling it would completely suck for me because it heavily diminishes the biggest reason I play which is for the political roleplaying and table theatrics. The game's mechanics aren't finely balanced but that's not really the point when all the whacky cards and win conditions are there to setup amazing emergent narratives through gameplay, which 2 player doesn't take as much advantage of imo. -Daniel
I mean dice combat is what it is lol. If you dislike it from other area control board games, Oath probably isn't gonna change that unless you're super into the narrative of the game over its mechanics. -Daniel
Gotta be honest, watching this just made me nervous ^^ P.S. Also not a fan of the art style. I think the style is interesting but not particularly pretty.

FILM ME!!!!
(best... review... evar!)
Should film Rahdo.
This might be my favorite board game review ever

Thanks a ton!
God damn it this channel is so freaking GOOD, I just realized that my toddler is speaking the most advanced version of the language there is. PLEASE, MORE, SPEED, REVIEW
We will be hanging a photo of Ashton's eyes rolling after smelling the coffee bag above the roaster for inspiration. Great review!
I literally knew that Daniel would give it a super high score and that Ashton would give it a middle of the road score LOL!
I love the Banjo Kazooie music. That was one of my favorite games as a kid
You have just created a new review format and I’m all here for it boyyysssss
This is the best intro in the history of all board game videos. Wonderful work gents.
Thanks! Making wacky intros is honestly so fun haha
-Daniel
This video is paced like roller coaster ride - now that it's over I have white knuckles and trouble breathing, but ooohboy was it fun and must watch again
Nice review. Concise without losing any important info. Perspective from someone else is a nice touch at the end
cheers! Glad ya appreciated my thoughts ahah -Ashton
This has become my favorite board games channel!
only been watching your videos for 2/3 days and already knew Daniel would give this game a high score and Ashton would be less enthusiastic. Great Channel guys.
I've never been so stressed by either a RUclips video or Freezeezy Peak.
I'm down for more reviews like this.

Fun video, worth the calories, and I appreciated the added value in two contrasting perspectives from Daniel and Ashton.
I like the review format lol. Interesting to see the big difference between the two scores. 6 and 9 is quite the gap.
When’s your review of Arcs coming ?
This was your channels funniest video yet. Keep up the good work!
thanks man! Glad you dug it x) -Ashton
This review was so, so good. Surprisingly good. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised since it isfrom Shelfside, as your content is consistently great, but you guys took it to the next level.
Your card sleeves are on backwards, actually! The decals go on the back!
Please do more speed reviews! We need more content like this when board game reviews often go upwards of 30 mins
Just got this game! Can’t wait to play it after seeing your review!
The way this is presented is reminding me of the LRR Spokesman skits, haha.
I can't believe I just found y'all's channel. Just a perfect fit for my sensibilities. Will keep watching!
Glad you enjoy it!
Amazing video, great for someone to decide wether they will enjoy it. If they think they won't, this video is enough, and if you do you can always watch other videos and do more research
This favorite oath review
Edit: less words
Awesome and entertaining review! Also, I liked the commercial you guys did for your sponsor at the end just as much 👍👍
Would love a non-speed review like that of Ankh and Gaia project
What a fun, energetic, and wildly funny review.
I loved every part of this speed review, including the counterpoint from Ashton!
Speed review is a great format.
Things fly all over the place whenever Daniel breaks the reality...
Amazing video! Very entertaining, super funny, I had a blast watching this video! Great job!
Freeze-Ezy Peak music = instant buy
and yet i can never get this to a table twice
I cant tell if this review or the susd review is better, maybe we just call it a tie
So, this is def my favorite boardgame, but I can NEVER get it to the table. It only made my sister cry once.
So you definitely need a 3rd player?😅 How bad is it between 2?
I havn't tried 2, but I have a feeling it would completely suck for me because it heavily diminishes the biggest reason I play which is for the political roleplaying and table theatrics. The game's mechanics aren't finely balanced but that's not really the point when all the whacky cards and win conditions are there to setup amazing emergent narratives through gameplay, which 2 player doesn't take as much advantage of imo.
-Daniel
@@Shelfside I don't think you can actually play just TWO Player games.. it will definitely need the bot.
LOL. ❤️ this!
You guys are hilarious!
PS - I would love to see you guys do a review of Inis/Seasons of Inis.
thanks man! Still have to play Inis myself, but heard so many good things! Much hype! -Ashton
Human brains are funny things.. so divergent.. I love the art style - I’d buy the game just for the art 😊
What is the point of the clear card covers? Is it to protect them to make them last longer? Why?
Yea card sleeves protect the cards and make them easier to shuffle!
-Daniel
I want this.......but I won't get it.....i don't have a group for THIS.... Did I hear a nakey jakey reference!? wait 2 of them!?
I like Ashton's review. So fresh. 🤪 I wish to know his favorite BG play.. 😁
top 10's will be coming at some point this year! -Ashton
mh, what a sensual sponsorship! (the review was entertaining and informative to the max, as usual)
ooooooh, that neuroshima hex mug tho!
ahahah it's a real looker! -Ashton
Im really interested in Oath... But the dice combat really throws me off =\
I mean dice combat is what it is lol. If you dislike it from other area control board games, Oath probably isn't gonna change that unless you're super into the narrative of the game over its mechanics.
-Daniel
@@Shelfside Dices are already bad. But o heard about How swingy they are in Oath, specially because of the multipliers in defense.
"SPEED REVIEW!!1" *crash*
and then I hit that Like button.
Totally agree with this review. God bless Leder Games
quality review. time use effective. 12/10 will come back
Yes. Good comment. Great vibe.
-Daniel
So clever
Review rating 10/10!
cheers! More stuff coming :) -Ashton
Review Good
Before seing the vid. “Huh this game looks kinda like root”
After googling. “Ooooooooh”
Thanks!
Best video ever
thank you! More leder stuff hopefully :) -Ashton
This channel slaps😂😂
This is very, very good.
I feel like this should be redone as an Orc review
lol amazing!!!
Oath turned Daniel into caveman Daniel.
Watch once. Watch again at 2x speed.
This is basically the review of the century?no..year!no....month...no....day?no.....JK
Grand
This review stressed me out in all the best ways
Gotta be honest, watching this just made me nervous ^^
P.S. Also not a fan of the art style. I think the style is interesting but not particularly pretty.
bahaha its a speedy review for sure. Not sure why this art doesn't resonate with me either! -Ashton
