Got my first play in tonight with a print and play. Really interesting game with lots of emergent narrative and subtle interlocking mechanisms. I think I like it.

I haven't played the pnp, that's good to hear.

I think a lot depends on card design and synergy, which no one will know until final versions.

Even from this initial, slightly stumbling play as we learnt rules, I could see synergies and more importantly stories emerging from what people chose.

I tuned into a playtest stream of this because coronavirus. I hate playtesting myself, but it is fascinating to watch how much things changed from the campaign. The cards are much more powerful and the action economy is way looser. They got rid of the resting mechanic and folded it into the action economy.

It's also no longer a VP game! More like a Eklund Pax game!

I'm sitting three feet away from an industrial color printer.

Here is the link to the play kit

I believe the TTS module was also updated.

It was just updated last week, I think.

Another one with the most recent rules, which are, again, still changing. They got rid of some cruft that was in the last version, it looks like.

It's funny, this is still a very niche game, the kind of weird gears within gears conflict between players that I love. I still think a lot of people are going to be super bewildered by it.

This is par for Cole, and it's why I won't even look at rules or vids etc. until I get the printed game, and won't look at the changes afterwards unless I have to, which probably I won't (sample exception: Lizard repair in Root). My single method of playing a Cole Wehrle game is to learn & enjoy a snapshot of it. Leave me off the treadmill.

Don't get me wrong, I love his designs. An Infamous Traffic is one of my faves of all time, a really brilliant design. John Company is fun despite my blindness to negotiation as a mechanism, and Root's fun too. I have significant hopes for Oath ... and I'm a backer ... but no, I'm not going to play every version that comes out. I'm going to play ONE version, if that's at all possible.

He really jacked me up with Pamir 2. Both versions are good. See how tough it is?

Same. I knew Oath was going to be such a stretch into the design horizons that there was no way it wasn't going to undergo a couple significant overhauls. I'm just waiting until something is ready to print and then I'll take a look. Until then, I'm doing other things.

There is a local guy here with an Oath playtest kit that I met just prior to COVID shutdowns and I am interested in playing it once just to get a general feel of what the game is. I don’t know if I can sit through a video playthrough.

With the disclaimer that Cole has successfully produced several really excellent games, and thereby has a track record that speaks for itself ...

... still I don't understand why he kickstarts a game that's not just done-done. Why impose that time pressure on the development work? Root had, what, a six-month pledge manager window! LOL. And even so, the Lizards needed repair, and a few other things. Why the rush to Kickstarter? Does he thrive on deadlines (some people do)? I dunno, I don't get it, and it's somewhat unreasonable of me to be irked about it, but there ya go.

It's sort of closer in spirit to what KS is supposed to be though right. Like, I've got this idea, but I need backers to develop it.

With Root and Oath it may not be up to him. Those are published by Leader.

Certainly he and his brother's imprint is like this (Wehrlegig) since it's such a small operation.
