Root
Wage woodland war where every faction plays by different rules
Who it's for
Groups of 3-4 who love emergent storytelling, negotiation, and learning multiple playstyles. Best when everyone knows their faction.
Not for you if…
Not for players who dislike learning asymmetric rules or being ganged up on. Frustrating at 2 players.
Vibe's take
Asymmetric, political, chaotic, deeply interactive

About this game
Asymmetric woodland war where each player controls a completely different faction with its own rules, goals, and playstyle. The Marquise builds an empire, the Eyrie commands a rigid dynasty, the Alliance wages guerrilla warfare, and the Vagabond roams freely.
