About Root
Battle for control of a vast woodland as one of four wildly different factions—the industrial Marquise de Cat, the honor-bound Eyrie Dynasties, the guerrilla Woodland Alliance, or the cunning Vagabond adventurer. Each faction plays by completely different rules and victory conditions, creating an asymmetrical strategic masterpiece where your success depends on understanding not just your own faction, but how to outmaneuver opponents who are literally playing different games.
Might makes right in the wild wood! The award-winning board game of asymmetrical woodland warfare comes to cross-platform digital play! Combine subtle strategy and bold daring to guide your forest faction to victory!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Root is a digital adaptation of an asymmetrical board game where players control different factions with unique mechanics and win conditions, praised for its strategic depth and high replay value despite its cute aesthetic. Players are divided on content, with some feeling the base game is feature-rich while others view it as a limited demo requiring expensive DLC purchases for the full experience.
It's disgusting the fact that you need me to make an account to play a BOARD GAME. Hello? Are you guys lost? Don't buy this, couldn't even log into my account. P.S you need 8 players to even play this bs4 found this helpful
only one single map and 3 factions + the vagaboond in the base game. additional factions and maps are $10 each dlc on top of that. once i finished the tutorial, i felt like i had seen everything the base game had to offer and put it down for good. i feel like the base game is just a Demo, and the full game only comes with all the DLC. I was bamboozled by the cutesy art design and catchy music, i didnt realize how boring and repetitive the game was. i didnt try multiplayer, but apparently it is un regulated and buggy against bad faith play, unsurprising when the purpose of the game seems to be a cash grab. just play Catan.3 found this helpful
two maps and 3 factions + the woodland alliance in the base game, amazing. additional factions and maps are $10 each dlc as well. once i finished the tutorial, i felt excited for what the game itelf would bring. i feel like the base game is very content-rich, and the DLC adds on to that a startling amount. don't be bamboozled by the cutesy art design, i didnt realize how complex and deep this game is. i havent tried multiplayer, but apparently it is un regulated and buggy against bad faith play, surprising when the game seems to be a masterpiece. don't play Catan.1 found this helpful
Not a fan and the login system was annoying.
Smooth digital adaptation of a really fun board game. The game allows you to make a lot of different strategic decisions without ever feeling too complex. The factions all feel super unique in terms of play style and win through different objectives, which increases the replay value tremendously. While it's obviously meant to be played with other human players, there's still some singleplayer content in the form of challenges which alter the basic rules, adding some new unique experiences. I do have some minor criticism tho: the lobby system is clunky and needs some work. Also I really wish they included the 6-player version of the game, right now the maximum number of players per game is 4 which is sometimes limiting in big friend groups. Overall it's an excellent time if you enjoy turn based strategy games tho, I give it a [u][b]9/10[/b][/u].
43 points vs 30 against ai, still lost would play again
