Today, I finally got to play Oath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile.
And it was so good! So many little things that all interleaved with each other, and every thing in the game is a trade off - there's always costs and consequences.
I love how the game just kind of created this (simple) narrative of a power struggle out of just mechanics and art - there's no pre-written story at all.
And the fact that the game remembers is wonderful and very unique!

boardgame | Oath [2]
I was playing the chancellor, just barely managing to hold onto the rule of my lands against the exiles, when one of my own citizens cornered me and attacked me, stealing my prized relics and forcing me to tell them the darkest secrets.
With the increased pressure from the exiles, I lost my rule, and the traitor citizen rose to power in my place.
