A Fresh Set of Tactics for the Root Universe
There's a particular thrill in sitting down to a familiar game and discovering it can surprise you all over again. The Squires & Disciples Deck for Root does exactly that — slipping new cards into your deck-building experience and opening up lines of play you hadn't considered before. That moment when a fresh combination clicks mid-game, reshaping your approach entirely, is exactly what this expansion is designed to deliver.
What It Is
Leder Games has built a devoted following around Root, their asymmetric woodland warfare game that has become one of the most celebrated titles in modern board gaming. The Squires & Disciples Deck is an expansion for the deck-building side of Root's ecosystem, introducing a new set of cards that broadens strategic options for experienced players. These aren't minor tweaks — they're new tools that reward creative thinking and push you to reconsider how you build and sequence your actions across a game.
If you've been playing Root long enough to feel like you've mapped out your favourite faction's rhythms, this deck is the antidote to familiarity. It's an invitation to experiment.
Who It's For
This expansion is squarely aimed at players who already own and love Root and are ready to deepen their experience. It assumes comfort with the base game and suits groups that play regularly enough to want more variety in their strategic options. Best for two to four players during a serious game night with friends who enjoy dissecting their decisions after the last card is played — not an entry point for newcomers, but a genuine reward for dedicated fans.
Features & Highlights
Leder Games is known for producing components that feel considered and intentional, and their card quality reflects that reputation. The Squires & Disciples Deck arrives in mint, new condition — ready to sleeve and shuffle straight into your collection. As with all Leder Games products, the card artwork carries the distinctive woodland aesthetic that makes Root so visually cohesive on the table. If you've been expanding your Root setup and looking for new ways to vary the deck-building layer of the game, this is a natural next addition to reach for.
