About this game

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.

Not for me, unfortunately. I felt the detailed board game mechanics didn't translate to the mobile experience. The tutorial was necessarily laborious, and unfortunately felt like a barrier to the game. I suspect that won't be a problem if you already know the board game, but I was trying this as an affordable way of trying the board game out and it didn't really work for me. I also found the on-screen text much too small to read. However, it's a well-built app and clearly made with care.

plays really well on my android phone. just the same as on steam on my laptop. edit: literally they made an update a day after my review and made it worse. the view is now so small you can't see anything. also the buildings are no longer the clear icons like the cardboard of the physical game, and they just can't easily be seen without zooming in. similarly the ruins can't be seen. bizarre and ironic. dropped from 5 star to 3.

As a fan of the boardgame this is a great mobile/PC adaptation (I bought both) with sound design and animation which perfectly capture the original artwork. The game breaking bugs that were present at release have all been sorted now, there are few issues with notifications on 3 day games and there's no option to see the last turn of each game (surely the one you want to see most!). Looking forward to the expansion with the other factions!
