Root

Root is a great asymmetric game in which different animal factions vie for dominance in a wood. We’ve only played with two players so far, but are very much enjoying it. There’s a lot to think about and each player has to decide whether to focus on winning or stopping their opponent from winning.

Strategy and Catastrophe

A highly strategical, layered asymmetrical board game, Root's depth of gameplay is rivalled only by Kyle Ferrin's beautiful artwork! While it may seem daunting at first to learn four different roles, the asymmetrical nature of the game lends itself to deeper strategy and gameplay, allowing you to experience the same game from hugely different perspectives each time you play! Would recommend.

Excellent asymmetric fun

Root is a beautifully presented game, and the theme is good fun, but where it really earns those five stars is the gameplay. Each faction plays very, very differently, and that makes their interactions fascinating. You have to be thinking constantly not only about how *you* might win, but also about how you might ensure that *they* lose. There is a lot of complexity there, but once you get going it's fairly intuitive, and the walk through makes for a great introduction.
