Product description

Root Fox Concept

Root: a Game of Woodland Might and Right

Root is a game of adventure and war where 2 to 4 players battle for control of a vast wilderness.

The nefarious Marquise de Cat has seized the great woodland, intent on harvesting its riches. Under her rule, the many creatures of the forest have banded together. This Alliance will seek to strengthen its resources and subvert the rule of Cats. In this effort, the Alliance may enlist the help of the wandering Vagabonds who are able to move through the more dangerous woodland paths. Though some may sympathize with the Alliance’s hopes and dreams, these wanderers are old enough to remember the great birds of prey who once controlled the woods.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the region, the proud, squabbling Eyrie have found a new commander who they hope will lead their faction to resume their ancient birthright.

The stage is set for a contest that will decide the fate of the great woodland. It is up to the players to decide which group will ultimately take root.

Root Color Factions

Asymmetric Design

Root represents the next step in our development of asymmetric design. Like Vast: the Crystal Caverns, each player in Root has unique capabilities and a different victory condition. Now, with the aid of gorgeous, multi-use cards, a truly asymmetric design has never been more accessible.

Root Marquis Faction

The Marquise de Cat

The Cats play a game of engine building and logistics while attempting to police the vast wilderness. By collecting Wood they are able to produce workshops, lumber mills, and barracks. They win by building new buildings and crafts.

Root Eyrie Faction

The Eyrie Dynasties

The Eyrie musters their hawks to take back the Woods. They must capture as much territory as possible and build roosts before they collapse back into squabbling.

Root Woodland Alliance Faction

The Woodland Alliance

The Alliance hides in the shadows, recruiting forces and hatching conspiracies. They begin slowly and build towards a dramatic late-game presence—but only if they can manage to keep the other players in check.

Root Vagabond Faction

The Vagabond

Meanwhile, the Vagabond plays all sides of the conflict for their own gain, while hiding a mysterious quest. Explore the board, fight other factions, and work towards achieving your hidden goal.

    Customers say

    Customers praise the board game's high-quality pieces and unique asymmetric gameplay, with one noting it's a fully asymmetric territory control wargame. The artwork is lovely, and customers appreciate the fantastic expansion that adds two new factions with different abilities. The game offers lots of replayability, with every faction playing differently, and customers find it fun even with two players. While some find it simple enough to learn, others consider it overly complex.
