Summary

Hey, no joke, we love this game. And if you listen to this show, we know you will love it too. And Leder Games does pay us sometimes, but they did not pay us to tell you how good their new game Oath is. That’s all us, baby. But we do sort of have a vested interest in its success. But also, like, we chose to have that vested interest. Like we knew the game was good and THEN were like “what if you sometimes paid us?” Okay, we’re not journalists and I no longer feel I owe you any sort of editorial statement of integrity. Just play this game because it’s super good, mmkay? Music provided by Brian Kupillas.
