Root (English)

The grim Marquise de Cat has taken control of the woodland and plans to drain the land of its riches.

Under her rule, the many creatures of the forest are bound together. This alliance will attempt to strengthen its resources and undermine the cat's dominion. In this effort, the alliance can seek help from the wandering vagabonds, who are able to move through the more dangerous forest paths. Although some may sympathize with the Alliance's hopes and dreams, these wanderers are old enough to remember the great raptors that once controlled the forest.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the region, the proud, suffocating Eyrie has found a new commander, whom they hope will lead their faction to reclaim their old birthright. The stage is set for a competition that will determine the fate of the great forest. It is up to the players to decide which group will ultimately take root.

Root is an adventure game where players fight for control of a vast wilderness.

In the game, each player controls a faction, and each faction has its special resources and ways to win the game. Root is an asymmetric game where each player has their own set of special rules and mechanics that they use to achieve their goals. No two groups play the same way, giving Root a very special dynamic.

How to play Root:

Each player chooses a faction, which determines how they will play the game. 

• Marquise de Cat plays a game of engine building and logistics while trying to police the great wilderness. By collecting wood, they are able to produce workshops, sawmills, and barracks. They win by building new buildings and crafting.

• Eyrie sneaks their hawks to take back the Woods. They must capture as much territory as possible and build roosts before they collapse back into squabbling.

• The Alliance hides in the shadows, recruiting forces and hatching conspiracies. They start slowly and build towards a dramatic presence in the late game - but only if they can manage to keep the other players in check.
  

• The Vagabond uses all sides of the conflict for their own gain while hiding a mysterious quest. Explore the board, fight against other factions, and work towards achieving your hidden goal.
