Game: Root – A Game of Woodland Might and Right
Root is a game of adventure and war, in which players battle for control of a vast wilderness! Each player in Root has unique capabilities and a different victory condition.

Whether you’re the nefarious Marquise de Cat, seizing the great woodland, intent on harvesting its riches, or the Woodland Alliance who will seek to strengthen its resources and subvert the rule of others. Or perhaps, you may be the wandering Vagabond who is able to move through the more dangerous woodland paths and ally or betray the other factions. Or lastly, you might be the Eyrie Dynasty, an ancient faction of royal birds, looking to reclaim their birthright under their new leaders. The stage is set for a contest that will decide the fate of the great woodland. It is up to the players to decide which group will ultimately take root with woodland might and right!

Players take turns moving their warriors about the board, building structures, sewing rebellion, or working to appease the woodland citizens, all in different ways specific to their faction in order to earn points towards victory. You are certain to clash in battle with the other player’s factions… who will come out victorious?

Whether you're looking to just get an overview, have a rundown of the rules, play a few rounds, or experience a full game, Jack will provide guidance and encouragement (and maybe a little friendly competition) as players try out this new game together.
