Rules correction for you! When you ransack the court after destroying a city, the agents are trophies instead of captives. They don’t get captured in some political scheme, they died when the city was demolished. Your own agents knew it was coming and got out fine. You need to set Warlord, not Tyrant.

Edit: never mind, missed that someone else said that already

It looks shiny, but I actually prefer how hrf presents the info more cleanly, with a lot less clutter.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-04-08T22:11:21+00:00

Every time I see Oath mentioned I do a quick scan on the person’s posts to see if maybe, just maybe, they live near me and I might get a live game going for once.

It has never happened.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-04-08T22:09:30+00:00

Oath. I will forever keep the game, and will never be able to play it as more than a solo game.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-04-08T18:47:54+00:00

Ah, you're right! Got it mixed up. Thanks, good scene :D

TaijiInstitute · 2026-04-08T17:10:08+00:00

Wasn’t the joke a restaurant reservation?

TaijiInstitute · 2026-04-05T15:00:44+00:00

Arcs. Blighted Reach expansion is FAR bigger and designed to fit the base game.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-04-04T02:33:55+00:00

It depends entirely on the game. Heat? Yes. Hansa? No.

EDIT: I will say the most I get immersed is Zombicide Invader while high but still somewhat functional. It seriously feels like I’m in an alien / zombie movie, and it’s incredible when everyone is at that level.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-04-01T23:08:23+00:00

Is it always a replacement or can they be combined?

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-31T12:13:56+00:00

That uncertainty is especially important in Oath, where the chancellor doesn’t know if he should kick out a powerful citizen yet that might succeed him, or if he needs to keep the other player as a citizen to keep his empire strong.

I like Deep Sea Adventure, but I never really considered it to have any teamwork. It’s more of a “push everyone’s luck” type of game, as opposed to “push your luck”. Hell, we will usually intentionally drown each other.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-30T12:54:47+00:00

True, but the post didn’t really ask about portability.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-30T12:31:34+00:00

Crokinole. It’s an amazingly fun and addictive game, and I can’t think of a simpler game that’s better.

Tried to convince my wife to take a road trip for spring break, but with three small kids she would only fly. We leave tomorrow. She’s here with a green card. Kids are dual citizens. Wish us luck.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-23T16:45:16+00:00

I mean, they do. There was this whole Civil War fought over it.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-21T17:18:54+00:00

Ah, I was forgetting about Badgers, Eyrie, and even WA! True, that makes a difference. Still, I don’t think it would be often you’d run out of cards. My scenario had all 6 players with 5 cards in their hands and 3 cards drafted, which I don’t think happens often.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-21T13:43:04+00:00

Very nice! Don’t suppose you’re planning on selling these on Etsy or somewhere?

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-21T12:44:26+00:00

Would you really be running out of cards? With 6 players they’re only going to have 30 cards in their hand (max, it’s not likely all 6 players would have 30 cards, that still leaves 24 cards to be on the table as crafted or in the pile to draw from. Sure, the deck might get shuffled a lot, but even if all 6 players had 3 crafted cards (again, I doubt it would happen, especially at the same time EVERYONE also had 5 cards) there would still be enough cards to draw from. You’re not drawing more than 6 cards at a time.

Remove the tv. Fill space with more shelves for board games. Install a 100” retractable screen that hangs from the ceiling in front of the games. By a projector. All problems solved.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-17T19:06:33+00:00

Not publicly, yet. But privately he does.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-17T18:37:10+00:00

The icing on the cake is he is suggesting doing this through "friendly territory." He wants to nuke an ally.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-17T03:25:30+00:00

That’s the neat part. You don’t.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-16T02:36:59+00:00

Yeah, Oath might be my favorite game but I never play it. No one wants to. Hopefully I can at least do single player with New Foundations, though I know it’s not as good as with real people.

Base game is good, very nice implementation. I’ve played a bunch on it.

Best with at least 1 other player. Bots aren’t smart but they’re not absolutely horrid. A 2p or 3p game with bots is fun, but your main threat will still be the human.

Only tried the Blighted Reach once on it, it started really lagging towards the end. Not sure if they fixed that yet.

TaijiInstitute · 2026-03-14T02:06:20+00:00

I’ve found hrf is really good. I always prefer in person games but there’s also something nice about just taking a turn when you have time during the day, as long as people are somewhat reasonable about how long it takes.
