Read MoreOath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile Board Game Review
By all accounts, Leder Games makes fantastic board game experiences. The other thing I’ve heard about Leder Games is that you get out of their games as much as you are willing to put in, and Oath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile is the perfect example of this! Oath requires a certain group of people to play to make it as exciting as possible, and I had the pleasure of playing with good and bad players. Regardless, though, the investment…

Players would draft honeycomb tiles for their hive, attempting to make rings, use actions, produce and sell honey, and much more, all to earn points and hopefully be the best hive at the end of the game. The game was phenomenal, and we played it a ton. The more we played, the more we realized we wished there was…
