    Want to buy this game? You can get it from Leder Games directly at ledergames.com/products/oath-... (or go to your friendly local game store, that's cool too)
    Corrections:
    I say that you can use a card if you're in its region, but I should've said that you can use it if you're in it's site.
    During the first attack example I should have removed one of the orange attack dice due to the Mountain's site ability.
    When attacking, you can roll an amount of attack dice UP TO your warbands. You don't have to roll all of them if you don't want to.
    During the victory checklist, in order to win with a vision, you need to have completed the vision, not just revealed it.

  • @boots2asses376
    @boots2asses376 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks for this video, helped so much with the denizens and combat.
    I’m just a little confused with set-up, so the cards that are in pack A are the starting cards for your world deck and the others get added as you play.
    How many games do you play before you can start over again?
    And if you do start over are the locations always just random? And do you just repeat the set up (pack A) to restart

    • @RTFM
      @RTFM  2 роки тому +3

      Yeah, so the first time you play, the tutorial packs will tell you how to set everything up. Then after your first game is done you'll use the Chronicle to save some locations/cards on the map, lose some denizens you played with, and add some new ones for next game.
      You can reset the denizens at any point between games. It's just about preference. If you do, you can either randomize the locations for your next game, or if you want to follow the tutorial set up again, you can find the exact order of those cards here www.dropbox.com/s/yfjbun4vm95hcg3/Oath%20Deck%20Order.pdf?dl=0

    So, to confirm: you can put any card you want, facedown, on your advisor slot as long as you got don't go over the limit of 3 cards?. You can even put cards that are meant to be placed only on the board (the ones with the little tree icon)? once they get face up they must go on the board, but face down, you can hold them in there.

It looks like a child did the drawings and the same goes for the board game Root. Same person did both games I believe. A game should be inviting and tempt your fantasy and this game does not even come close.
    And it is very expensive. I would much rather buy Twilight Imperium or Eclipse 2nd edition or Dune Imperium and get some money left over for expansions or another nice looking game.
