Oath of the Brotherhood (2015)

About this game

A famous captain has arrived at the island with news of plunder and treasure. He seeks a few good men to add to his crew but will accept only members of the Brotherhood of Pirates. Rumor has it that he has amassed a huge fortune and is now looking for his replacement so that he can retire in a quiet plantation. Oath of the Brotherhood is a strategic worker-placement game for 2 to 5 players. The players try to gather the necessary resources in order to fulfill their missions and gain the necessary victory points to win.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
