Root: The Riverfolk Expansion – New Powers on the River 🦦🦎

The Woodland grows more crowded. Root: The Riverfolk Expansion by Cole Wehrle, illustrated by Kyle Ferrin and published by Leder Games, adds two new factions, three new Vagabond characters and a bot to Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right. You need the Root base game to play.

The Riverfolk Company are shrewd otter merchants who sell their services to everyone else at the table – and grow rich from it. The Lizard Cult spreads its faith among the outcast creatures of the forest and converts them to its cause. Three new Vagabonds bring fresh ways to play the wandering adventurer. The Mechanical Marquise lets you play solo or cooperatively against an automated Marquise de Cat, or fill an empty seat in a competitive game. With extra pieces, Root now supports up to six players.
