Description
Root is an adventure and wargame in which 2 to 4 players battle for control of a vast wilderness. In Root, each player has unique abilities and a different victory condition. Now, with the help of beautiful, multi-purpose 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, many of the woodland creatures have banded together. This Alliance will seek to strengthen its resources and subvert the rule of the 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 sympathise 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 whom they hope will lead their faction to reclaim their ancient birthright. The stage is set for a contest that will decide the fate of the great woodland. The players must decide which group will ultimately take root.In the board game Root, the players drive the story, and the differences between the individual roles create an unmatched level of interaction and replayability.
