Well received gift

Oath is a fantastic game to play. There's layers to the strategy you can implement behind it, the pieces and playmat are colorful, the artwork all around is fantastic, the list goes on. If I could talk about all the plus sides to this game, from basics down to the nitpicky, I would. This is an Amazon review; however, so let me get to the downsides and whether or not this game is for you. First, this game is a PAIN to teach. Before introducing it to my friends, I had to watch several tutorial videos and do three (THREE) playthroughs on my own to be confident about the rules. To further complicate things, each card adds more to this and can get overwhelming if you aren't familiar with key terms and words used throughout the game. On top of that, this game is horribly unbalanced. I have lost a game once where I didn't win a single battle, spent all game wandering the map for relics and searching for good cards that never materialized, and ultimately wanted nothing to do with the game afterwards. This is not a game where slow and steady wins the race. What this IS however is a glorious chronicle of a game where the cards, actions, sites and relics play into a larger story in which you and your friends are characters fighting for the throne. There are extremely powerful cards and relics that can form intimidating offensives or barriers to your opponents, but the best part is that each card has its counter. NOTHING in this game is invulnerable. Because of this, the plot twists in this game are second to none. Apart from the less-than-strategic victory die, each game-winning action feels so satisfying, and the tension of the last turn feels like the finale of your favorite TV series. That being said, the cardboard components included and the chronicle book omitted from this copy add to the experience of the game, and are only worth buying if you have a willing group ready for this masterpiece. Between its ups and downs, my frustrations behind this game ultimately are balanced by its capabilities and creativity. After several more playthroughs in which other friends got to watch and get immersed in the story we had written, the Chancellor in our game will soon have much more work to do in the future.

My 17 year old son loves this game. My wife and I find it hard to take in all the complexity of it. I can't think of a more complicated game. It takes a lot of effort to become proficient at it but I can see how it appeals to an enthusiast.

Super fun to learn and the legacy lite aspect is amazing
