About the game

What you do in a play session

Omen: A Reign of War – Forgotten Oath arrives as an expansion that introduces a new unit type: Champions. These special characters add strategic depth by enhancing area control and influence on the board. The expansion also adds rules for the "Blood Feud" variant, enabling intense 3‑4 player games that boost rivalry and negotiation. It was produced exclusively for backers of the second‑edition Kickstarter, so owners of the original set will feel the impact of the new content. Core mechanics—Area Majority/Influence, Hand Management, Open Drafting, and Variable Player Powers—remain, but Champions bring unique abilities that can swing the game at any moment. Playtime stays around 30 minutes, preserving the base game's brisk pace, and the complexity stays low (weight 2/5), perfect for players wanting a bit more depth without slowing down. If you already enjoy Omen, you’ll love the extra strategic layer Champions provide, and the multi‑player variant opens the door for livelier group sessions. Keep in mind that, as a Kickstarter‑exclusive, it may be hard to find on the secondary market.
