Oath is a game of empire-building and legacy where players take on the roles of Exiles, Citizens, or the Chancellor to shape the future of a world. Players undertake major and minor actions like searching for cards, mustering warbands, trading for resources, campaigning against opponents, and traveling across the land. The game ends through various win conditions, including meeting specific goals as an Exile, a stable regime win for the Chancellor, or a war exhaustion win at the end of eight rounds.
