Root is a board game designed by Cole Wehrle and first released by Leder Games in 2018. It is a fully Asymmetric Multiplayer strategy game simulating burgeoning tension and war that's about to take place in the forest.Each player takes the role of one of the anthropomorphic animal factions and battle each other for the control of its resources or to spread their ideology.Games and expansions include: Root: The base game, which includes four factions (the exploitative Marquise de Cat, the stuck-up Eyrie Dynasties, the insidious Woodland Alliance and the independent Vagabond) and two maps. Root: The Riverfolk Expansion: The first expansion, which adds two new factions (the radical Lizard Cult and the mercantile Riverfolk Company), a second Vagabond and an automated version of the Marquise de Cat. Root: The Underworld Expansion: The second expansion, which adds two new factions (the invasive Underground Duchy and the secretive Corvid Conspiracy) and two new maps. Root: The Marauder Expansion: The third expansion set which adds two new factions (the Keepers of Iron and the Lord of the Hundreds) and introduces hirelings. Root: The Clockwork Expansion: Four bots based on the base game's factions with a second one based on the first four expansion factions. These are official retoolings of the fan-made Better Bot Project. Root: The Exiles and Partisans Deck: An alternative shared deck of cards. Root: Vagabond Pack: Personalized pawns for each possible Vagabond, including three new Vagabond characters. Root: Hireling Pack: Adds more hirelings to the mix. Root: Landmark Pack: Adds new pieces called Landmarks to the game with special abilities.In August 2020, a digital version of the game was released on Steam.Root: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game, where players take on the role of Vagabonds navigating the forest, was produced by Magpie Games. See also Oath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile, the next game by the same developers, with similar themes. | |

Cute Is Evil | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_1c1d21c6 | comment |
Cute Is Evil: All the factions basically. They look like cute woodland creatures with even the Tinkerer of the Eyrie Dynasty being a woodpecker, but each one is a devious and dangerous foe who will turn on the weak at a good chance. Word of God (i.e. of Cole Wehrle) is that the designers have intentionally chosen the cute aesthetic to offset the negative emotions that cutthroat competitive gameplay evokes in most players. To paraphrase, a backstab does not feel as bad, when it is a cute cat, bird, or mouse doing the backstabbing. | |

Failure Is the Only Option | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: The Eyrie Dynasties are destined to enter Turmoil at some point simply because of the way the Decree snowballs with each turn. Eventually, your resources are simply going to be spread too thin to be able to fulfill the myriad requirements of a late-stage Decree. It then becomes a matter of how well you're able to tank the inevitable point penalty. Better hope you haven't been abusing bird cards, or that you can win before you reach your next Turmoil. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: A new Eyrie player may look at their leaders and choose the most powerful looking ability to start with. However, without careful planning, this is a fast track to turmoil. The Commander Leader of the Eyrie. They deal an extra hit in battle, potentially giving the Eyrie the strongest offensive capability in the game, but this is contingent on having a strong army in the first place, as well as a good hand of cards to create well-rounded and flexible decrees. Starting the game with a Commander is very likely way more firepower than you can conceivably need at that point in the game, and you are immediately mandated to begin battling possibly before you can even start recruiting warriors and building roosts, risking either slow momentum or turmoil. To a lesser extent, the Charismatic Leader. They allow the Eyrie to amass a large army incredibly fast, and is a tempting choice to allow the player to very quickly build momentum and snowball out of control. However, the Charismatic Leader begins with Recruit and Battle viziers, which is risky for two reasons. One, the player must now insert a Move decree to even leave their starting roost. Two, depending on their starting hand, they may not be able to begin building roosts right away. This means that while the Charismatic Leader is a very strong choice in turn 1, it is highly dependent on the player's starting hand, as they require both immediate aggression and lack the ability to move or build roosts straight out the gate. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Begining an Eyrie game with the Despot. Their only unique ability is earning an extra point from destroying tokens, which is harder to take advantage of. They begin with the Move and Build Viziers, which means they likely won't be seeing battle right away and might not even be able to begin recruiting warriors right out the gate. However, those same viziers make the Despot arguably the most practical starting leader. Instead of fighting or even being able to take advantage of their unique ability, the Despot guarantees the player the ability to build roosts as soon as possible, which is necessary to quickly draw more cards and earn more points every turn. Plus, having no Battle decree right out the gate can even be a boon, as it means the Despot has very little risk of entering turmoil early and has the luxury of choosing to play defensively until they have a larger, more spread out army with a good hand of cards to add decrees with. | |

Loads and Loads of Rules | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_517ae522 | comment |
Loads and Loads of Rules: Each faction has their own ruleset. Some of them are more complex than the other. On top of that, each faction from the expansions comes with even more complex rules, yet again faction-specific. Oh, and on top of that, Eyrie Dynasties play a Programming Game, which means even more rules that are incredibly specific to their current situation and programmed actions. When there are six or more players (as a result of expansion), just keeping track on what others are doing, why and how they gain points starts to become a burden. | |

Fantasy Americana: Despite the apparently Medieval European Fantasy trappings, the game really runs on this. For one, the setting: the Woodland folk include species native to North America such as raccoons and opossums - in fact, every member of the Eyrie Dynasties is a bird species found only in the Americas - and the power from an overcrowded French-themed faraway land is alien to the land. Small communities who can be taken as representing the American settlers and/or Native Americans rise up both to overthrow a corrupt monarchy and repel colonizing outsiders. | |

Aggressive Play Incentive | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_5a4c636e | comment |
Aggressive Play Incentive: The combat mechanics encourages attacking other players over playing defensively by how combat is resolved: players roll two d12 dice with values from 0 to 3, and the attacker deals the damage equal to the higher roll, while the defender takes the lower (the only exception are the Woodland Alliance faction, who take the higher roll even if defending, because they are Famed In-Story as guerilla fighters). | |

Disc-One Nuke: If the Marquise player gets the a specific card in their first hand which nets the Marquise one Victory Point for every domain they control, and in the first version that is all but one, it nets the Marquise eleven victory points. If this is played in concert with most any Dominance card, it means the Marquise can win in their next round. | |

Root (Tabletop Game) / int_5ca80293 | comment |
While not cartoonishly evil, the Marquise de Cat is still an ambitious aristocrat who invaded the Forest to serve her own interests. She genuinely tries to modernize the conquered lands, improving the lives of her subjects, but it's out of pragmatism: She wants a prosperous domain with a loyal population. | |

Root (Tabletop Game) / int_61c683d2 | comment |
We Have Reserves: Subtly encouraged by the Eyrie's playstyle, who has a finite number of warriors in their supply and can potentially turmoil at the start of their turn if their Recruit decrees exceed their reserves. Depending on the situation, it's actually a good thing to lose warriors in fights so that they can be Recruited again and stave off turmoil longer. | |

Tabletop Game A.I. | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_66380266 | comment |
Tabletop Game A.I.: Root received two expansions adding automated players to it, with the first being the Mechanical Marquise from The Riverfolk Expansion, which automated one of the asymmetrical factions of the game (Marquise de Cat). The original Mechanical Marquise was, however, widely considered unplayable, so a fan-driven Better Bot Project produced a complete overhaul of it, as well as automating the other three OG factions. All four of these were then made official by Leder Games in The Clockwork Expansion, containing Mechanical Marquise 2.0, Electric Eyrie, Automated Alliance, and the Vagabot (while the BBP has since also automated all expansion factions). | |

Balance Buff | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_6e1e24a | comment |
Balance Buff: The third printing provided buffs to the Cats and Lizards. Originally, the Cat could save one warrior from death by discarding a card matching the battle clearing's suit. After the update, the Cat player can now save all of their warriors from being killed by spending a single matching card. The Lizard's Hated Outcast mechanic made them much more powerful if the Outcast (the most numerous suit in the discard pile) were the same twice in a row, meaning it seldom actually activated. In the update, the original Outcast can become Hated if it isn't outnumbered by a new suit. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: Relics for the Keepers in Iron. Their Devout Knights ability makes the badgers incredibly powerful. While they are fighting with a relic, they freely ignore a single damage every battle, which means if used offensively, they can very well walk away from many fights they start with little to no loss to their own numbers. However, doing so means they hold off on turning in their relics for score, necessary to actually win the game, and the relics paint a giant target for every other player to try to snatch, because destroying it not only deny points from the Keepers, it nets the other player twice the number of points they normally get from destroying tokens. | |

Political Strategy Game | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_b2a1b0dd | comment |
Political Strategy Game: Downplayed. Unlike Leder Games' next release, Oath, Root is still firmly a War Game focusing on conflict over territory and resource, rather than over ideology and influence. However, like in political strategies, its players have different scoring criteria that reflect the underlying political ideology of their respective factions: the Marquise represents colonialism and capitalism, so she earns points by exploiting the environment and expanding her enterprises; Eyrie Dynasties, meanwhile, are a traditional militarist aristocracy, so they gain points by backing up their historical legitimacy claims with conquest; the Woodland Alliance is a populist reaction of the exploited working class, so they earn points by nurturing sympathy among the general populace for a popular uprising (the Alliance gameplay actually comes closest to that of typical political strategies, thanks to its influence and popular sympathy mechanics); finally, the Vagabond stands for opportunistic individualism and gains points by doing favors for the highest bidder, whether it's other players or the general populace (via quests). On that note, while the Vagabond also appears to stand for a dismissal of any sociopolitical agenda, the Coalition mechanic makes him the only faction who can join another's ideology and win together with them. | |

Quantity vs. Quality: The expansion in a nutshell. The Lord of the Hundreds is able to amass the largest army of any faction alarmingly fast. The Keepers in Iron on the other hand is heavily discouraged from having too great a number in one place, living off the land self-sufficiently (losing one warrior per turn for every stack with more than three warriors), with the upside being that with the help of relics and their own playstyle, their warriors are much more durable and can rack up more actions per turn. | |

Root (Tabletop Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: The third printing nerfed the Woodland Alliance and Vagabond. The Alliance's point track for spreading sympathy was slightly weakened, limiting their lategame power somewhat. Under the original rules, the Vagabond becomes basically invincible in the lategame. They gain points from killing enemy warriors in battle, even including when the Vagabond was attacked. Since the they had pretty good odds of at least killing a few of their attackers anyone attacking the Vagabond to try and slow them down was likely to just be feeding them points instead. The new rule is that the Vagabond only gains points from attacking during their own turn. | |

GameplayAndStoryIntegration | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_e6630c8b | comment |
Gameplay and Story Integration: Each faction's mechanics deliberately tie into its theme and backstory. The game begins just after a successful incursion by the Marquise de Cat, which is why she starts the game with a warrior in every clearing. Her main path to victory, industrialization, depends on her securing supply lines and exerting military control over the board. The Eyrie Dynasties were the original rulers of the forest, and after suffering a handy defeat by the Cats, only have one base left at the furthest point from the Cat's fortress. However, they have a better claim to legitimacy among the forest-dwellers, which is why they are able to control a clearing by matching other factions' numbers instead of outnumbering them. This is also reflected in the fact that the 30 victory point win condition is meant to represent a tipping point of legitimacy—and the Eyrie passively gains points each turn. Bird cards can also be played in any clearing, because the birds live in the treetops instead of alongside the commoner animals matching the clearing's suit. The Decree also represents the strain of leading a large government with multiple factions to please. The Woodland Alliance represents a popular revolution, and any action against them by other factions only makes them more popular; opposing players must pay cards to the Alliance player that they can use as "supporters" to fuel their own actions. As guerilla fighters, the Alliance also always takes the higher die roll in battles. Finally, their actions mostly occur at night, as opposed to during the day like the other factions. Crafting a card is meant to represent exploiting the animals of that card's suit. The Lizard Cult recruits these alienated commoners to their cause, which manifests as the Lizard player gaining advantages in clearings matching the most numerous suit in the discard pile. | |

Exact Words | |
Root (Tabletop Game) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Like many complex board games, the rules deliberately use similar but different terms that have different game play implications. As such, the rules must be read closely, as they rely on these differing terms and spend little time on pointing out the differences. For instance, most factions have "warriors" which can be killed and removed from the board, while the Vagabond's piece is a "pawn" which can fight like a warrior, but isn't removed from the board in the same way. "Buildings" take up an available spot in a clearing, but despite also representing a building, the Cats' Keep "token" doesn't take up space the same way. | |
