Reviews
“Overall it’s everything I wish more war games were. It’s beautifully produced, has just the right amount of randomness with the card deck and dice—enough to keep you on your toes and have a contingency plan but not enough to negate your planning.”
Board Game Quest
“Root is a winner. This game will take a long time to get great at, but it is a very approachable heavy strategy game.”
Cardboard Reality
“If you like a good war game, if you like to think about the political implications of what everyone’s doing on the board, and if you think the ultimate asymmetrical battle between the woodland’s cutest creatures is something you cannot resist, I cannot recommend this game highly enough.”
