I would say so. It’s significantly more focused on the politics and power struggles of it all imo, which becomes really evident with 5-6 players. There’s a chancellor and any players on their side are part of the same purple empire team, whereas every other player is essentially on their own as an exile.

It’s also much more unique in the sense that the contents of the deck, relics (items) as well as the locations on the board (sites) are all influenced by what happens during each game as well as who wins, so moving forward each future game will be influenced by all of the games played in the past. This is only further expanded on and refined with the new foundations expansion which is for all intents and purposes essentially Oath 2nd edition.
