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.

Version 1.31.2
God bless I love this game. It took me awhile to learn. Frankly, I had to watch a tutorial on YouTube even the tutorial didn't seem efficient. Asymmetrical board games are weird. But it's well worth learning. It's so much fun, and it's so much more convenient when the computer takes care of all the tokens and card drawing and all that jazz so you don't have to. I will say tho, I may just buy the actual board game now because I actually love this game and it's expansions. Well worth the buy.

Version 1.31.6
This is my favorite board game. The physical game and the app are both very well-thought out, just like the game itself. Tons of fun! If you like strategy, this game has something for every type of play style. I also appreciate how the app guides you through the rules as needed, has tons of built-in variations and challenges, and lets you save a game for later. You can even play online! I love this.

Version 1.31.2
Very sleek and smooth, amazing translation of the board game. One of the best iterations of a board game in digital form. I only have 2 quibbles with it. 1) please have an option to lock the zoom all the way out. Having to redo it every time I reopen the game is annoying, especially when stuff is going on that I'm missing because I'm dealing with the camera. 2) in the faction information panels, the digital implementation is fantastic but it would be nice to have the full boards as reference.
