Root: The Marauder Expansion – A Wilder Woodland 🌲⚔️

Make the Woodland wilder with Root: The Marauder Expansion from Leder Games! It introduces two new factions, the Lord of the Hundreds and the Keepers in Iron, alongside four hirelings and a new setup draft suitable for both casual and competitive play. A copy of Root is required, for 2–6 players aged 10+ and 60–90 minutes.

As the Lord of the Hundreds, you oppress the Woodland and burn it to the ground if need be, suffering no dissent. Claiming to be the true voice of the Woodland, the Lord spreads distrust and division, inciting torch-wielding mobs to dominate enemies. The swarming army of the Hundreds can overwhelm all but the toughest defence, looting items and adding them to the Lord's towering hoard. As the Keepers in Iron, you lead an exiled order of devout knights into battle to recover ancient relics. For glory! The hirelings are small versions of the factions that can be added to games at any player count. Forest Patrol and Feline Physicians secure your realm and heal deadly injuries with Marquise elites. Last Dynasty and Bluebird Nobles crush foes and prove your legitimacy with the last Eyrie regiment. Spring Uprising and Rabbit Scouts revolt against despots with Alliance sympathisers, while The Exile and The Brigand stalk the forests as Vagabond mercenaries. Hirelings bring surprising new power combinations and a chess-like tension to games with fewer players.
