Our take on the Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right

Root is an asymmetric board game for two to four players in which each faction plays by different rules. The Marquise de Cat builds and taxes, the Eyrie run a programmed decree, the Woodland Alliance stirs revolt, and the Vagabond wanders as a lone adventurer. Its woodland art and sharp faction asymmetry set it apart from symmetric war games, but the rules load is heavy and the first games are lopsided while players learn. Reviewers and owners praise the depth and replayability and warn that it rewards a regular group.

Best forGroups of three or four who play together oftenPlayers who like asymmetric factions and shifting alliancesFans of area control and light war gamesGamers who enjoy learning a faction's quirks
Pros
  • Each faction plays a genuinely different game
  • High replayability from faction matchups
  • Charming woodland art and theme
  • Tense, interactive area control
  • Scales well from two to four players
Cons
  • Steep learning curve for new players
  • First games can feel unbalanced
  • Rules overhead is high for a casual night
  • Best with a consistent group
