About the game
What you do in a play session
If you have already ventured through the chronicles of Oath, you know that the world is not just a static map, but a living organism that breathes and changes according to your choices. With the New Foundations expansion, this experience gets a fresh breath of life. It is not just about 'more cards,' but a profound overhaul that allows your dynasty to leave even deeper marks on the history of this fallen world. The expansion introduces hundreds of new cards that not only expand the range of strategic possibilities but also inject fascinating new systems that make empire-building a much denser and more rewarding task. Imagine being able to shape the very foundations of the game, adapting the rules and the setting to the image of the lineage you are cultivating. It is the type of expansion that transforms 'how we play' as much as 'what we play.' For those who love games that tell emerging stories, where politics, negotiation, and resource management intertwine organically, New Foundations is the perfect invitation to return to the table. The new intrigue and quest mechanics allow you to explore paths that were previously just distant dreams, making each chronicle a unique journey. If you are an Oath veteran, you will feel that the game has flourished; if you are a newcomer, you will find a much more robust and personality-filled system. It is a tribute to the players' ability to be the true authors of the chronicle, ensuring that the world of Oath remains one of the most dynamic and unpredictable stages you can have on your shelf. Prepare to see empires fall and new foundations built by your own hands, in an experience that challenges your leadership and diplomatic skills at every turn.
