Play the digital adaptation of the beloved tabletop board game. Root is a game of adventure and war where 2 to 4 players battle for control of a vast wilderness.
The nefarious Marquise de Cat has seized the great woodland, intent on harvesting its riches. Under her rule, the many creatures of the forest have banded together. This Alliance will seek to strengthen its resources and subvert the rule of Cats. In this effort, the Alliance may enlist the help of the wandering Vagabonds who are able to move through the more dangerous woodland paths. Though some may sympathize with the Alliance’s hopes and dreams, these wanderers are old enough to remember the great birds of prey who once controlled the woods.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the region, the proud, squabbling Eyrie have found a new commander who they hope will lead their faction to resume their ancient birthright.
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.
Rarely did I get such a feeling of developers’ dedication when it comes to the digital adaptation of a board game. Beyond the tactical gameplay itself which is truly outstanding, the devs took the time to provide a large range of challenges - each of them bringing new victory conditions. In addition, the tutorial for each faction deserves to be praised for its clear and easy-going approach. Altogether, this digital version of “Root” is really worth it, adding to the local modes (pass and play, solo and challenges) a multiplayer version which allowed to either dive into an existing session or host and customize our own.
