Root is a game of might and right in the woods. As a Vagabond, stalk the woods, seize the initiative with the Eyrie birds of prey, reign supreme over your subjects as the Marquise de Cat, or command the Woodland Alliance to establish a new order. In the ultimate asymmetric board game of adventure and battle, you\\\'ll rule a magnificent woodland kingdom with creatures and cunning. Two to four players compete for control of a huge wilderness in this adventure and war game. The evil Marquise de Cat has taken control of the vast forest, intending to plunder its wealth. The forest\\\'s numerous creatures have united together under her authority. This alliance will work to increase its riches and overthrow Cats\\\' power. The Alliance may recruit the support of travelling Vagabonds who can navigate the more perilous woodland pathways in this effort. Though some may sympathise with the Alliance\\\'s goals and dreams, these wanderers are old enough to recall the mighty birds of prey that once ruled the skies.
