Description
Get ready for a woodland war! Root is a complex and engaging board game for 2-4 players (best with 3-4) where you'll battle for control of the forest as adorable but cunning animal factions. Each faction has unique abilities and play styles, making every game a different experience. Expect to spend some time learning the ropes – Root has a lot going on! But once you grasp the mechanics like action queueing, area influence, and hand management, you'll be vying for victory through clever maneuvering, strategic card play, and maybe a bit of dice rolling luck.
