Oathsworn is Unbelievably Thoughtful @Shelfside

Uploaded March 2024 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

After 5 chapters, Shelfside gives their impressions on Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood! A 1-4 player dark fantasy board game, Oathsworn brings an epic story driven campaign alongside a solo friendly boss battler combat system full of customization for player accommodation and accessibility, with 12 unique characters to boot. With beautiful components and minis and an amazing organization insert, it's smooth to run, but as yet another kickstarter gamefound project with a massive box, it does run into the classic issue of rules jank, typos and errors.

$We played TI4 every month for a year In 2025, we challenged ourself to play Twilight Imperium 4 once a month for a year! And after 2025 (and some time after) passed, we have completed the journey! There has been 12 games completed, all with varying levels of expansions/modules. We got to play with Codex 4, Prophecy of Kings, Thunder’s Edge, and Twilight’s Fall. How did this Ameritrash Area Control hold up to this many playthroughs? Do we any observations about how Ti4 fits into the zeitgeist of board games? Is the increased weight and component bloat worth it for most matches of Twilight Imperium? What are the best galactic events to use? How many hours of twilight Imperium have we played at this point, and with what factions? Will we ever move onto other sci-fi area controls like Arcs and Eclipse?
