ROOT: A Game of Woodland Might and Right [Board Game]

Claim your place in the woodland—decide who will take Root!

Dive into the enchanting yet fiercely contested world of Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right, an asymmetric strategy board game for 2-4 players (expandable to 6 with expansions). Designed by Cole Wehrle and illustrated by Kyle Ferrin, this critically acclaimed title from Leder Games invites you to shape the fate of a vibrant forest kingdom through cunning, conflict, and conquest.

In Root, players take command of one of four unique factions, each with distinct abilities, strategies, and victory conditions. Will you rule as the industrious Marquise de Cat, building workshops and harvesting the woodland’s riches? Soar as the ambitious Eyrie Dynasties, reclaiming territory with swift hawks while navigating an unstable decree? Scheme as the secretive Woodland Alliance, igniting revolts to overthrow oppressors? Or roam as the enigmatic Vagabond, playing all sides to pursue a mysterious quest? Every faction offers a radically different playstyle, ensuring unparalleled replayability and dynamic player interaction.

Set across a beautifully illustrated board featuring Fall and Winter maps, players compete for control of clearings through area movement, dice-driven battles, and clever card play. With 55 wooden warriors, a Vagabond pawn, 28 buildings, 54 multi-use cards, and more, the game’s high-quality components bring the woodland to life. The strategic depth (BGG weight: 3.81/5) rewards seasoned gamers, while accessible tutorials and faction boards make it approachable for newcomers.

Root is more than a game—it’s a narrative-driven adventure where alliances shift, betrayals unfold, and every choice shapes the woodland’s destiny. A must-have for strategy enthusiasts and fans of immersive storytelling.
