quiggy posted:physical games chat: getting ready to teach four other people how to play oath I've been curious about Oath. My group played the paint off Root, and I know they're very much different games, but we've been interested in trying it since, y'know, good designers are good. But we'll probably just keep playing the bejesus out of Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy instead because god drat can that game scratch a couple itches.

It's a great sweet spot imo. The biggest thing it has going is that it's a fully fledged 4x implementation that doesn't take an entire weekend to play. Don't get me wrong, it can get long, but not Twilight Imperium long. quiggy posted:i usually start my teaches with the win condition and lol+lmao oath has four of them and none are simple FMguru posted:indeed, the entire point of the game is to shift the victory condition around and reveal the actual victory condition only when you are in a position to claim it That's exactly what makes teaching Inis harder than it should be. The game concepts are easy (Read The Fun Card and do what it says, movement is generally unrestricted besides causing combat), but new players consistently struggle with the concept of presence vs chieftain ("wait I thought I had to be chieftain of 6 sanctuaries" or "oh I thought I had to be chieftain of 6 enemy clans in the same territory") and generally get the win conditions mixed up. That being said, I still 100% recommend Inis to your less boardgamey friends/family. If you ever hear someone try to suggest Risk, throw Inis at 'em. I'd describe my brother as basically allergic to most of my collection, but he loves Inis and actually asked if we could teach it to friends of his.
