Featuring over a dozen trait cards that add unique strategic twists, this expansion enhances the Root base game with challenging AI opponents and versatile gameplay modes. Released in 2020, it weighs 850g and measures 5.4 x 29.2 x 22.6 cm, boasting a 4.5-star rating from 300 reviews. ## Description Players can now square off against four fiendishly automated factions, either to round out a low-player-count game or to team up for cooperative play! Compete against the Mechanical Marquise 2.0, the Electric Eyrie, the Automated Alliance or the Vagabot. Warning! Not suitable for cildren under 36 months. Small parts - Choking Hazard Review: Great way to expand the players or play solo - Root definitely benefits from having at least 3 or 4 players and this expansion really helps in adding another player or two. Some of the bots are harder to run than others (I'm looking at you Vagabond) but after a few turns it all sinks in and the bots are really well designed, hats off to those involved! I've also used this to play solo, only against one of the bots and they put up a good fight with room to increase the difficulty too. If you love the puzzle of root then I recommend, however you do lose the personal touch that comes from playing against humans so don't expect it to capture that. Review: Great game made even better. The bots are hard to play against and give you a real challenge. - Great game ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.

A 5- or 6-player game will take at least a couple of hours. First few games will probably take double that. I think that even with four players 60-90 minutes is probably optimistic. **Q: What print version is this one? Is it the first print or the second print?** A: Ordered from Leder Games and received a First Printing, Ninth Printing, 2022. Anyone receiving a First Edition, First Pressing in 2023 is getting a counterfeit copy of the game... **Q: Why does the release date keep getting pushed back???** A: Because people are just making up those dates, the actual date is after Christmas. They are hoping you will pay for a pre-order that won't ship until after Christmas. **Q: If it adds in 2 factions and another vagabond doesn't that mean you could play 7 players?** A: It still only recommends up to six players. I think you’d have all of the component for a seventh but the board might be overly crowded at that point. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to expand the players or play solo *by B***N on 14 May 2023* Root definitely benefits from having at least 3 or 4 players and this expansion really helps in adding another player or two.
