Oath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile is an American board game designed by Cole Wehrle, illustrated by Kyle Ferrin, and published by Leder Games in 2021.
Oath is set in a fantasy land similar to that of The Dark Crystal and The Chronicles of Prydain. Players with asymmetric roles compete on a neoprene modular map to either defeat or win as the Chancellor. The events and winner of each game influence the events of the games that follow; Oath is part of an increase in the release of games that have a legacy or campaign structure. The game is focused on fantasy politics and crisis, and intentionally includes kingmaking and metagaming aspects.
Upon its release, Oath received positive reviews. An expansion for the game, Oath: New Foundations, is in development.
