Enhance your game of Root with these awesome expansions!
In Root, 2 to 4 players attempt to rule over a mystical forest kingdom in an asymmetric game of war and conquest! In Root, you can choose to play as one of four factions, each of which has a unique playing style and resources. Root represents a great example of how asymmetric design can enhance a game. Each player in Root has unique capabilities and a different victory condition. With the aid of gorgeous, multi-use cards, a truly asymmetric design has never been more accessible. The four playable factions are Marquise de Cat, Eyrie Dynasties, Woodland Alliance and the Vagabond. Marquise de Cat focuses on dominating the woods, extracting riches and policing the inhabitants of the forest whilst the Vagabond forges alliances and rivalries with the other players.
As with all great games, Root has a few enhancing expansions and additions that you can pick up to increase your fun. These additions include the the Vagabond pack and the Resin Clearing Markers, which improve the quality of the base game. If you're looking for some full expansions, then Root has three with the Riverfolk Expansion, Clockwork expansion and the Underworld expansion. All of these have excellent new mechanics and are worth picking up after your first couple of playthroughs.
Each copy of the Riverfolk expansion includes the following:
- A New Core Faction: The Riverfolk Company
- A New Core Faction: The Lizard Cult
- An Extra Vagabond
- One Card Holder
- Cooperative Scenarios
- Rules for Bot Play
- Three Additional Vagabond Variants
The Clockwork expansion allows players to face off against four automated factions:
- Mechanical Marquise 2.0 - Dodge her marauding patrols as you try to stop her from completing her building tracks.
- Electric Eyrie: Shore up the Woodland's defenses against this fearsome invader. If they go unchallenged, the Woodland will soon be flooded with their forces.
- Automated Alliance - Police these radicals and raze their bases before a little uprising turns into a massive rebellion.
- Vagabot - Hunt the dastardly Vagabot across the many clearings of the game or attempt to court him with items.
The Underworld Expansion includes even more new factions:
- The Great Underground Duchy: an imperial faction that mixes the flexibility of the Marquise with the escalating Eyrie Dynasties.
- The Corvid Conspiracy: a secretive faction that hatches plots directly into the hands of their opponents.
- Two new maps: dig tunnels on the mountain map or fight to control the ferry on the lake map.
