Root Board Game

Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right

The great woodland is at war.

In Root, 2–4 players take control of rival factions fighting for dominance across a vast and dangerous forest. The nefarious Marquise de Cat has seized the woodland, harvesting its riches and building an empire of workshops, lumber mills, and barracks. But her rule has not gone unchallenged.

The proud Eyrie Dynasties seek to reclaim their ancient birthright, the secretive Woodland Alliance rises from the shadows to spark rebellion, and the wandering Vagabond plays all sides of the conflict while pursuing their own hidden path.

Every faction in Root plays differently, with unique abilities, strategies, and ways to win. The Cats focus on logistics and engine-building, the Eyrie must expand and hold territory, the Alliance grows from a quiet resistance into a powerful uprising, and the Vagabond explores, quests, trades, and fights for personal glory.

With beautiful artwork, clever card play, deep strategy, and huge replayability, Root is a brilliant choice for players who love tactical conflict, asymmetric gameplay, and board games where every decision shapes the story.
