A woodland-fantasy strategy game, with asymmetrical factions. Root is a game of adventure and war in which 2 to 4 (1 to 6 with the ‘Riverfolk‘ expansion) players battle for control of a vast wilderness. 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.
In Root, 2-4 players compete in an asymmetric strategy wargame to control a forest. Each player controls a different faction, each of which has different gameplay elements, tactics, and point scoring options. In the base game, 4 factions are present: the Eyrie Dynasties, Marquise de Cat, Woodland Alliance, and the Vagabond. While there is a common set of rules for movement, hands of cards, and battling each other, every faction adds an additional layer of rules complexity.
Each faction has unique abilities, ensuring varied play styles and dynamic interactions.
Players drive the narrative, and the differences between each role create an unparalleled level of interaction and replayability. Leder Games invites you and your family to explore the fantastic world of Root!
