Oath

Oath is a game that's not for everyone, but if you're looking for a deep, complex experience with tons of replayability, it's definitely worth checking out. The game's mechanics are a bit of a beast to learn, even for experienced board gamers, but once you get a grasp of the rules, it's a smooth sailing ride. It took me about two hours to understand the rules the first time, and even though the game comes with a walkthrough, there are still a lot of questions left unanswered. Watching a tutorial on Youtube is a great way to get started, especially if you're not playing with someone who already knows the game. The game is about developing complex relationships with your fellow players, which can span multiple games, and it's got seemingly endless replay value.

The first playthrough of Oath was a challenge, but after that, it became a much better experience. I especially love the artwork, and the mechanics are genius. The game does a great job of making everyone equally familiar at the start of a new round. It's rewarding to see the world develop as you play, with changes made based on the outcomes of previous games. The continuity of the game really helps to make it feel better than other legacy games I've played.

The production quality of the game is amazing. The colors on everything just glow, and the playmat is big, durable, and awesome looking. The components are great, but if you're looking for the deluxe add-ons, you'll have to buy them separately. The game is a bit pricey, but I think the quality of the components and the depth of the gameplay justify the cost.

Overall, I think Oath is a great game, but it's definitely not for everyone. If you're looking for a light game with simple rules, this is not it. But if you're looking for a deep, complex, and strategic game, Oath is definitely worth checking out.
