United StatesPlay 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.
Great game app — just one grievance
Played this one time after a few tabletop games of ROOT. The app is really great in most ways, brilliantly done and offers a nice experience for users. Artwork, music, sound effects, and navigation are all super pleasant and aesthetically on point. One grievance: Per the Law of ROOT, when the Eyrie enter Turmoil, they depose their current leader and *choose* their new leader, however the app chose for me when I played the Eyrie and went through Turmoil once during the game. It’s a major strategy point for the Eyrie to be able to choose their new leader because of the leader’s special ability as well as the correlating placement of the loyal viziers.
United StatesFantastic port except…
Add a “fast forward through opponents’ turns” option. Having to rewatch three opponents for each turn is a pain. Other than that small adjustment…amazing!
United StatesThis game rocks!!
The digital version is highly recommended if you play the board game. The tutorials are great although some extra research will likely be needed to fully understand some of the rules. I’m totally hooked on this game. Also the animations are fun. Great work!
United StatesOo-De-Lally!
The life and personality of Kyle Ferrin’s art of the Woodland’s anthropomorphic inhabitants is continued in the visuals and audio of this electronic adaptation, and mercifully for me, the computer remembers the rules for me, gives me tutorials and challenges, and offers a rulebook to check mid-game. There are times when an action on my turn causes the time of day to roll forward, and I cannot undo my last action, even when nothing was randomized. It would be handy to be able to do so. Aside from that, the touch controls work well, and I love the continued support in the form of expansions such as the Riverfolk and the Underworld. I look forward to further adventures in the woodlands.
United StatesGreat way to learn the rules of Root to play the physical version!
My primary reason for buying this on iOS was to learn the rules for each faction so I could play the physical version with my friends. The app helped me a ton! And afterwards, I found myself playing 5, then 10, then 15 games on my iPad, long after I learned the rules. There’s just so much strategy for each faction (well balanced too!). Kudos to the developers for this excellent game.
United StatesGood game but the Eyrie AI is awful
I love this game and the digital adaptation, but the Eyrie AI is game-breakingly bad. It goes into turmoil more turns than not, and regularly ends the game with zero points.
United StatesI love this game so much!
please please please add the marauder expansion!
