Root is a game of adventure and war in which 2 to 4 (1 to 6 with the 'Riverfolk' expansion) 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.
Root represents the next step in our development of an asymmetric design. Like Vast: The Crystal Caverns, each player in Root has unique capabilities and a different victory condition. Now, with the aid of gorgeous, multi-use cards, a truly asymmetric design has never been more accessible.
The Cats play a game of engine building and logistics while attempting to police the vast wilderness. By collecting Wood they are able to produce workshops, lumber mills, and barracks. They win by building new buildings and crafts.
The Eyrie musters 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 begin slowly and build towards a dramatic late-game presence--but only if they can manage to keep the other players in check.
Meanwhile, the Vagabond plays all sides of the conflict for their own gain, while hiding a mysterious quest. Explore the board, fight other factions, and work towards achieving your hidden goal.
In Root, players drive the narrative, and the differences between each role create an unparalleled level of interaction and replayability. Leder Games invites you and your family to explore the fantastic world of Root!

Here's the most overlooked rule imo : No one rules an empty clearing. Thus, when being in a clearing where you DO NOT RULE cause of ennemy presence, you actually CAN NOT go into adjacent empty clearing, since you AS OF BEFORE THE MOVE do not rule either the starting clearing or destination clearing.

@Quackalope 3 года назад

This is a great point!

@DarkThomy 3 года назад

From experience, it actually allows for very interesting counterplays against say the Wooden Alliance when they're just about to score those last points and you would like to pin them on one area. Same with the lizards who can easily "block" ennemies on their garden, forcing a fight to escape.

@tasomaniac 2 года назад

Think about real life perspective. Either you're strong in your home base and march to an enemy base. Or you are being beaten in an enemy base and moving back to your home base. Thinking about this way, the rule is very clear to me

One thing we incorrectly assumed when playing our first two games, was that when the marquis or woodland lose a token that goes back on their player board, that they lose the points underneath it (as its covered up). We found out after that this doesn't happen and you keep all points. Only the Eyrie can lose points if the decree fails.

Great video! One rule I often missed while playing as vagabond is that you have to move coin/teapot/bag to satchel after exhausting them. This makes a big difference because later in evening those items need to be counted toward item capacity as well, which might force you to remove some items.

@Quackalope 3 года назад

Here is useful reminder for the Woodland alliance. I was hopeless today because we misunderstood the Outrage effect. Outrage. Whenever another player removes a sympathy token or moves any warriors into a sympathetic clearing, they must add one card from their hand matching the affected clearing to the Supporters stack. If they have no matching cards (including no birds), they must show their hand to the Alliance, and then the Alliance draws a card from the deck and adds it to the Supporters stack. I hope i helped you guys i wish good games to you all.

@dumpling6410 3 года назад

@mauriceoksman8594 2 года назад

You are fast becoming one of my favorite BG Channels; I've been a subscriber for quite a while and content like this keeps me coming back. We all play games wrong for some reason or another: misreading, weak rulebooks, assumed gameplay based on prior experience and/or just as complex game. Furthermore, mistakes early on are very habit forming and you end up doing it without a 2nd thought. I'm a really big fan of Leder Games and Mindclash Games, but let's be honest-those are some dense games: asymmetry, solo, COOP, competitive, expansions and variants like none other-heck even player count like in Root. What makes those publishers fit so well, IMHO, are that they are just top-notch-transcending and beautiful on so many levels: dynamic gameplay, theme, art, production, rulebooks, inserts and even community relations seem to strive to do everything right. Video tutorials of 1 round of play or a subject such as this are great tools to fill in the gaps for those with different learning styles. I commend EVERY company that pays to have their game taught by a BG channel, or-possibly-does it properly themselves-and not just originally, as preview to solicited backers, in the case of crowdfunded games, but also upon release-they can skip the dozen superfluous-redundant-miniatures or expansions in exchange for teaching videos. So yeah-rock on. Keep up these kinds of teaching videos that focus on your common mistakes and, hopefully, more videos that helps recognize the biggest hurdle in the board game industry, in terms of its reach to bring more consumers in the hobby, has always been the difficult situation of learning, teaching and helping new people into the hobby. Cheers!

@dumpling6410 3 года назад

Another reminder with Vagabond aid, when you need too aid someone to get them to level 2 on the relationship track, you also need to flip two items over. You need to perform the aid action two times basically on the same turn!

@drbasseri 3 года назад

what?????????

@dumpling6410 3 года назад

@@drbasseri yup! So if you are friend with the lizards at level two already and want to get them to level three, on one turn, you need to aid them then three times: flip three items and give them three cards that match suit/wild. You don't need to do all three in a row though, so you could aid once then move to another clearing with lizards in it then aid again there cuz you have cards that match suit. TLDR; the next level on the relationship track = how many times the aid action needs to be done in one turn.

Root is my #1 favorite game to play and you have covered it well in your videos. It is also my least favorite game to teach to new players and catch player turn mistakes because of the asymmetry.

So my focus now is teaching and making play throughs with the clockwork expansion, and something I’ve habitually missed was remembering the effects of the various trait cards for the factions (I usually play with one per clockwork). I’ve found that if I place the cards somewhere on the robot’s board (or the relevant place on the map, like by the scoring tracker) where the trait takes place or modifies something, I have a fighting chance at remembering.

The parts with Marquise; wish I remembered those rules a few weeks back when I was able to play it. Forgot about the hospital entire game and misread the production line rules completely at first. Thought I could only send wood to an adjacent clearing, so I had sawmills all over the place... Then I kept making plans on where to build but didn't rule the clearings in between. This might sound strange to some people, but I somehow thought Root was more complicated than Vast: The Mysterious Manor. Love both games, though!

For the Riverfolk Company, my play group missed a very key aspect when reading the rules: In Birdsong, ALL funds on your player board go to your funds box.

One small clarification, at 9:47 you said “My wood cannot pass through a region that I currently have rule of in order for me to get it to the place I want to build.” I’m pretty sure you meant “… a region that I DO NOT currently have rule of …” since you explain it correctly in your example with the clearing that has the Eyrie and Marquise. Just wanted to mention it in case someone got confused by what you said.

@Quackalope 5 месяцев назад

@wimdehert1631 2 года назад

yeah indeed you rescue all casualties from a clearing with youre field hospital. the wood you take for building as a cat, needs to be connected to each other by clearings you rule, but that netwerk does need to be connected to the building youre trying to build. a rule i missed is that the vagebond is defensless when he has no swords or all of them are dammaged. and another rule i missed is, in a aid action as the vagebond you need to exaust an item of his choice. also a new rule: if the vagebond is in a clearing when everything is removed from that clearing (like revolting) it takes 3 damage.

@adamlivingston6599 2 года назад

Some of the stuff in clockwork, especially movement priority is tricky. It seems like sometimes there isn't a full list of priorities, so sometimes I'm making calls on whether they'll move or fight in certain clearings based on clearing priority.

@mysteryperson706 Год назад

This is likely because you have the older print! I'm guessing the birds were particularly prone to this sort of ambiguity? If so, there's updated rules which correct this issue!

@z-beeblebrox 3 года назад

Oh! A couple other things about the woodland alliance that are important to note: 1) martial law doesn't apply to Revolt. If an opponent stacks a clearing with meeps *after* you have sympathy there, there is no need to play an extra supporter card to cause a revolt. It's always just two. That screwed over the Birds in our previous play, cuz he was sitting there smugly thinking the Alliance wouldn't have enough supporters to revolt in a corner where he'd placed...way too many of his people. That hurt to watch 2) also martial law is *just* the one extra card, no matter how many enemies at or above 3 are in the clearing. Our game actually went a round longer than it had to because it was assumed the Alliance needed to stack matching supporters *per each* extra enemy meeple in a clearing at or above 3. Somehow, the Alliance managed to cash out seven(!) fox supporters plus a wild to match the Cats' legion, which seemed like a pretty epic way to end the game until we realized the action was way more trivial than that :P

Biggest rule I tend to forget or see folk miss, is when you have an exhausted item as a vagabond (coins, tea, or bag) it goes into your satchel. This also means that you don't get the benefit of it. With the bag this can lead to some lost items as you dive beneath your new cap and get an extra item in there.

Thanks, I’ve gone over the rules multiple (double digits) times and I still missed one you’ve clarified here. With the woodland alliance I played you have to spread sympathy in an adjacent clearing unless it’s not possible, then you can play anywhere. It’s actually only when there is “no” sympathy. “Choose Clearing. An unsympathetic clearing adjacent to a sympathetic clearing. If there are no sympathetic clearings, you may choose any clearing.” Great video, just subscribed today and am scrolling through your content.

@Chironex_Fleckeri 2 года назад

I have a 6th printing and the spread sympathy verbiage is ambiguous. It doesn't say what you're quoting, but we looked it up and your comment is right. Just pointing out that not everyone has the current printed rules. The games rules are written concisely but are sometimes lacking clarity for unfamiliar players.

@drpalafox 3 года назад

My only mistake in your video was the wood chain. All the other clarifications were learned mostly playing some games in the app. Just yesterday I couldnt build with the cat and didnt know why till now. Tks. In the field hospital you need to specify that is one card for all the meeples you lost from a single battle action.

@dillonheadley9204 3 года назад

Some other things with the vagbond i've seen some confusion over is that if your 'track' items are exhausted (coins, bags, tea) they have to be moved into your satchel AND their effect is lost. Also you can refresh items while they are damaged, and a day in the woods will repair AND refresh all items.

If this is the case and the bag cant fit in the satchel am i not allowed to do the quest because i dont have enough room in the satchel? What happens to the other items when the bag is used? Say i have 8 items and i use a bag. Do i loose the items? Or can i just not use the bag? Same with tea. If i use a tea on a quest but have no satchel space can i just not use the tea?

@@naturesfinest2408 you can use these items for quests but at the end of your turn you have to check your item capacity. You would choose items to lose at that point

@@dillonheadley9204 thank you. What expansion do you recommend?

@dillonheadley9204 3 года назад

@@naturesfinest2408 no problem! If you regularly play with lower player counts like 2 or 3 then the underworld is much better because the moles have high reach. You also get 2 new maps so lots of variety. Both the lizards and otters work better in bigger games like 4+ players. I also highly recommend the Exiles and partisans deck. I’m personally looking forward to the marauders expansion coming early next year which is aiming to fill out the 2 player game and add a ton of variety.

To enforce the ambush pause, our house rule is that if you just roll dice without pausing or asking for ambush, the defender still may play the ambush card and then choose to have you re-roll the dice or not. That little extra ensures that EVERYONE pauses or asks before rolling.

Had that moment where the vagabond thinks that the coalition domination card allows the domination condition to be shared with the player they collated with

It's super super fun if you have a group of dedicated friends to play it. Once y'all start to understand it and get an idea of what all the factions can do the metagame develops so quickly and it's so satisfying. Some of the best most varied gaming I've ever had.

@user-jt1dr5zy1b Месяц назад

Thanks for the video 😊 I have one question about breaking locations. If you break a location and it triggers to go to the next stage deck. Do you use the current stage card as a reaction or do you flip the first next stage card that you don’t have a clue what it is? All the best Sam

@LBZer0 3 года назад

One my group tends to forget is for the Otters and Vagabond, the part we forget is that the Vagabond needs to exhaust an item for each cost (e.g. 2 cost = 2 items)

@yum8666 3 года назад

I think the best way of learning this game is by doing a demo game with only marquie and eyrie and then once you learn those to you ad another faction to learn and then you keep playing games switching out that third faction. This was the way I learned the entire game and all its expansions on my own

@lawrence-yx1ew Год назад

@perplexedon9834 Месяц назад

A cool thing that you can do to eliminate the ambush pause is have it as etiquette that the defending player rolls. Hey I'm going to attack here, can you roll for me? Then they can decide whether they want to do anything before rolling, and at a psychological level it also makes the game feel a bit less aggressive.

Thanks for the video, it's important to pay the tax to the WA to the supporters not to the hand i forgot this many times...for the Riverfolk expansion I propose the rule that allows lizards to sacrifice a warrior to become an acolyte ... now it is possible to sacrifice one from the reserve, this is something I discovered recently in the last text of the rules. Keep the good work, i love your content :)

@MsMjohan 3 года назад

In the instance where the Vagabond needs to execute multiple Aid actions to move up the last two spots on the relationship track, can he move between Aid actions. For example, the Vagabond needs to move one more level to become Allied with the Marquise -- can he give the Marquise one matching card in a mouse clearing, then move to a Fox clearing and give two more matching cards to move to the allied position on the track. Or do all cards need to be transferred in one set of actions before doing any other actions.

For the Clockwork expansion, be sure to have the latest rules for the Electric Eyrie. The original rules, especially movement priorities, could cause repetition & monotony.

One thing we got wrong for a while (not sure how common this problem is) is that the Eyrie must play their decree left to right, but NOT NECESSARILY up to down. We thought it was both up to down, and left to right.

@aba824 3 года назад

Playing vagabond we missed in the beginning that when you befriend with a faction for a second and third time you need to give more cards but also used more of your stuff. Also in first plays we forgot that if you get hostile with faction you cannot bring it back to friendship track ever again during this game

@Quackalope 3 года назад

Yea those are good notes! I have missed the vagabond aid action in the past!

@SaniFakhouri 3 года назад

Also that, for each step you want to take, you need to give all those cards in the same turn. The first step up is just one card -> one Aid action -> exhausting one item and giving one card matching your clearing. The second step up is two cards -> two Aid actions -> exhausting two items and giving two cards matching your clearing(s). And the third step up to Ally status is three cards -> three Aid actions -> exhausting three items and giving three cards matching your clearing(s). Definitely booting aboot to get to clearings that both match the suit of cards in your hand AND that have pieces of an enemy player you wish to aid is part of making the magic of Aid happen.

@DarkThomy 3 года назад

Making a coalition with someone (using a domination card with the vagabond) allows you (and actually forces) to get back in neutral state with the chosen player.

@RenatoSantos-gn6mm 3 года назад

@@SaniFakhouri yep, and in the case of number of aids to increase relationship, the same turn ins't necessarily the same clearing, we may move and aid again, since the same turn, so need to remember the number of times you're aiding each faction in your turn I saw people think in their strategy that in order to aid 2 times to increase relationship, they would need to be in the same clearing one afther another

If you have crafted persistent cards,abilities from clearing s you rule,if you loose a clearing you rule that you used to craft a card do you loose that card? Eg two mouse clearings for crafting a card,lose a mouse clearing ,put the card back in stack?
