Root
Unterwelt-Heurlinge
Description
The forest is beautiful wild and fiercely contested. Root unfolds as an adventure and war game where every faction tells its own story. Two to four players compete for control of a vast woodland where power constantly shifts and every decision reshapes the narrative. With the Riverfolk expansion the conflict can grow to include up to six players.
The ruthless Marquise de Cat has seized the great forest to harvest its riches and resources. But resistance is rising. The Woodland Alliance gathers support in secret working to undermine the rule of the Cats from within. The Vagabond roams freely beyond clear front lines following personal ambitions and striking unexpected deals. Looming over everything is the memory of the great birds of prey who once ruled the woods and may yet return.
Root thrives on radical asymmetry. Each faction plays entirely differently with its own rules strategies and victory conditions. These contrasts create extraordinary interaction filled with negotiation conflict and dramatic reversals. Players do not simply move pieces they actively shape the story of the forest. Every game feels distinct rewarding creativity tactical insight and bold decisions.
With its unmistakable hand drawn art style and elegant structure Root blends strategic depth with narrative charm. It is a game that captivates families and seasoned players alike inviting them back again and again to discover new stories.
