Summary

In this frankly 142nd episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Ava and Tom have been left alone again, and proceed to gush for almost an entire hour about the hottest hotgame right now: Oath! They shouldn’t let us get away with this stuff.

I can only promise that we do get to ‘how to play’ in this podcast, but it made sense for us to get whimsical about the victory conditions first to frame the rest of the rules, because they’re quite special.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

1:07.3	review this. I know. I'm really excited for your review, but like, it's going to need a lot of digging.
1:14.9	It's like insert sort of like a rocky training montage here of me like just pounding a copy of oath with my fists until it like shatters.
1:24.0	And then it's like, now I can review.
1:26.5	Holes in it above your head and marching up and downstairs repeatedly like it's a big box as

1:35.9	dang heavy is this thing um and it's not like gameplay wise just pure weight
1:41.5	it's it's It's heavy.
1:49.8	I was lifting it up, bringing it up the stairs, and it is the shape of this box, right? If you imagine the new Twilight Imperium, but you had to, it was a three-layer Victoria
1:55.6	Sponge Cake.
