    I’ve played only 1 round with my 4-person friend group (until a family matter came up and we had to stop playing) and I already love everything about this game! I share all the sentiments in this video. It’s really not the overly complex game many say it is. I’d say it’s brilliantly simple. However, the rule book makes it seem unnecessarily complicated. Not sure how it passed all the play testers. It’s even puzzling that there are two rule books! I HIGHLY recommend watching game walk-throughs, because it all makes so much more sense in play.

    I find it enjoyably appropriate that some people complain about kingmaking in a game that is literally the story of how a king was made.

      I saw a comment under another Oath video, where a guy was saying how much he hates kingmaking, and while Oath is bad, the game with the very worst kind of bad kingmaking, in his opinion... is Game of Thrones.

    I need to stop watching videos about this game. They keep making me want to buy it even though I don't have a group to play it with. :)
    Also not sure what's with the downvotes. I'm fine with the auxiliary Rahdo since it simply means more videos and not less Rahdo.

      Yeah, no group currently but Amazon had it 40% off so I pulled the trigger.

    Fabled fruit was resetable Fable game 5 years ago, but there new cards(number 7-49 - four copies each) were introducing sites (mix of actions/scoring conditions/rules/components ) in completely linear way - when the number of active cards was low. And sites were removed during play when the last copy of a card was scored for 1 VP.

    • @rahdo
      @rahdo  3 года назад

      very true, though i'd argue that the fabled games developed on a very fixed path and weren't quite so player directed as what oath sets out to do :)

    I really want to table my copy soon but I want to make sure I have a dedicated group that will push through at least 5 games of it to make sure we get through that early time of it being rough...

      This is exactly why this game falls flat for me. My group has played three times and I still don’t like it

      If you want to try it over TTS at some point, I'll organize more games of Oath on the IV Games discord server in the near future.

    I LOVE This game, but it wears it's Ameritrash passion and soul on it's sleeve. This game is NOT balanced and has king making in it, but it tells a story as you play and the game play is fascinating and dynamic, and really the lack of balance and king making as mentioned is really part of the theme. This isn't a game I am going to pull out frequently, but every year I am going to try and get a few plays in of it because it is just such an interesting game and experience.

    I was surprised when this showed up in my recommendation list, I thought "Oath is the anti-Rahdo game". When I saw it was Shea it made a lot more sense. It's a weird game, but I like the fact that such weird games exist.

    What makes this game a Legacy game I did not understood?? How would to pack up the map and still have the same locations ???

    • @rahdo
      @rahdo  3 года назад +3

      i'd say this is a legacy adjacent game, not a true legacy game. but it goes a bit beyond a traditional campaign experience. so not quite legacy, but close :)

      @@rahdo yea but how is this achieved??? Do you put the cards in a special tray or a bag??? how to do for the lack of the better term save the current progress and continue the next game????

    • @MrJonnyalpha
      @MrJonnyalpha 3 года назад

      @Ivan Ristov There is a special box, The World Box, into which you pack the sites and edifices that are carrying over to the next game. The world deck also changes as you add in more of the cards that the winner used while taking out others. So that the world has some continuity but a different focus and the world deck starts to alter from game to game depending on the strategies used by the winner.
