The Story

Root is an award-winning asymmetric strategy board game where 2-4 players battle for control of a vast woodland realm. Each faction—the Marquise de Cat, the Woodland Alliance, the Eyrie Dynasties, and the Vagabonds—has unique abilities and victory conditions, creating endless strategic depth and replayability. With beautifully screen-printed wooden warriors, a double-sided mounted map, and rich narrative-driven gameplay, Root offers an immersive experience that combines tactical warfare with political intrigue.
