Description

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.


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.

In Root, 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!
