Yep I do this. The game can take 15 minutes to teach, but an hour for me to re-learn if I have to read the rules again. If I write my “teach” into a cheat sheet it’s so much easier to replay because it removes the mental barrier of having to read yet another 39 page manual.
Plus, there’s always some tricky rule that everyone gets wrong the first time I explain it. My notes help me ensure I teach it “right” the first time.
Anybody have a list of the books and authors they mentioned? Any personal recommendations on which ones to try first?
I’d still call it a legacy game. While legacy games usually involve physically, permanently, altering the pieces, it’s not required; just that previous sessions carry some impact over to the next. At least that’s what I’ve seen.
I would say simply adding and removing cards from the game counts as a legacy mechanic, since at any time my copy of Oath is going to play different than your copy based on our play history.
Maybe “legacy-lite”?
Edit: seems the term might be “Fable”? https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamefamily/44081/series-fable-game-system
Which books should I read beforehand to get the most out of it?
