Description

Play the digital adaptation of the beloved tabletop board game. Root is a game of adventure and war where 2 to 4 players battle for control of a vast wilderness. The nefarious Marquise de Cat has seized the great woodland, intent on harvesting its riches. Under her rule, the many creatures of the forest have banded together. This Alliance will seek to strengthen its resources and subvert the rule of Cats. In this effort, the Alliance may enlist the help of the wandering Vagabonds who are able to move through the more dangerous woodland paths. Though some may sympathize with the Alliance’s hopes and dreams, these wanderers are old enough to remember the great birds of prey who once controlled the woods. Meanwhile, at the edge of the region, the proud, squabbling Eyrie have found a new commander who they hope will lead their faction to resume their ancient birthright. The stage is set for a contest that will decide the fate of the great woodland. It is up to the players to decide which group will ultimately take root.

  • Great way to learn the rules of Root to play the physical version!

    My primary reason for buying this on iOS was to learn the rules for each faction so I could play the physical version with my friends. The app helped me a ton! And afterwards, I found myself playing 5, then 10, then 15 games on my iPad, long after I learned the rules. There’s just so much strategy for each faction (well balanced too!). Kudos to the developers for this excellent game.
  • Good game but the Eyrie AI is awful

    I love this game and the digital adaptation, but the Eyrie AI is game-breakingly bad. It goes into turmoil more turns than not, and regularly ends the game with zero points.
  • I love this game so much!

    I have heard a lot of good things about ROT and have been wanting to play this game for a while. The tutorials presented by this app are great. And having the AIs to practice with is very helpful. Highly recommended!
  • Love it but some UI requests

    Hi, love Root, love how your team has taken the time and care to reflect the characteristic art direction of the board game in your UI. The Direwolf team has gone with an art direction that stands out from other digitized versions of board games I have played. A really great job capturing the charm of Kyle Ferrin’s art in your menus, music, animations, and color palette among others. Overall I thoroughly enjoy playing this game with my friends. A couple issues that have come to be a thorn in the side after months of daily play: 1. For async games, a skip recap button would be much appreciated. After watching the recap the first time, it becomes a pain to continuously rewatch the recap every time you want to consider options on another player’s turn or just view the board to strategize. 2. The buttons for some of the factions can be small and with cellular play, incorrect buttons may be mashed. There’s been a lot of care put into this with undo buttons and “Are you sure?” warning windows. The vagabond desperately needs a more secure “Are you sure?” warning whenever ending daylight. Skipped vagabond turns are more common than they could be. Overall, great game, awesome adaptation. Thank you a lot for the fun times with my friends.
  • Beautiful AND fun!

    I never played the board game, but this is one fantastic digital version. Graphics are perfect for the tone, and the gameplay is stellar. Can’t recommend enough!
  • Fun and Engaging, Awaiting Full Chinese Support!

    This game is incredibly fun and captivating. However, I hope the developers can enhance the Chinese language support, as it’s currently incomplete. A fully supported Chinese version would greatly improve the gaming experience and attract more Chinese-speaking players. Looking forward to future updates!

    The title pretty much says it all. Phenomenal game, and faithful to the actual board game. Cute art style is also a plus.

    I don’t ever write reviews but this game is done so well and is so helpful at how to learn the game that I felt they had really earned my time to write the review. I know it’s 10$ for the game but it’s worth it. I do wish the expansion pack was not also 10$ but 20$ for my favorite board game the expansion and tips on playing and all in my pocket is well worth it.
