Oath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile Board Game is a strategy game for 1–6 players about guiding the course of history in an ancient land. In each game, you might play as the Chancellor, ruling over this land with a velvet glove or iron fist. Or perhaps you will be a Citizen, scheming to become the Chancellor's successor. Finally, you might play as an Exile, working to seize the throne or chart a new course for this society.

The consequences of one game will ripple through those that follow, changing the resources and actions that future players have at their disposal and even altering the game's main goal.
