Root is a game of adventure and war in which 2 to 4 players battle for
control of a vast wilderness.
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.
Root represents the next step in our development of asymmetric design.
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 Cats play a game of engine building and logistics while attempting
to police the vast wilderness. By collecting Wood they are able to
produce workshops, lumber mills, and barracks. They win by building new
buildings and crafts.
The Eyrie musters their hawks to take back the Woods. They must capture
as much territory as possible and build roosts before they collapse back
into squabbling.
The Alliance hides in the shadows, recruiting forces and hatching
conspiracies. They begin slowly and build towards a dramatic late-game
presence--but only if they can manage to keep the other players in check.
Meanwhile, the Vagabond plays all sides of the conflict for their own
gain, while hiding a mysterious quest. Explore the board, fight other
factions, and work towards achieving your hidden goal.
In Root, players drive the narrative, and the differences between each
role create an unparalleled level of interaction and replayability.
