Root: The Homeland Expansion Expand your Woodland warfare with the largest expansion yet for the award-winning asymmetric board game! The Woodland is changing, and new powers are emerging from the fringes to claim their stake. Root: The Homeland Expansion introduces almost as much content as the base game itself, bringing three brand-new asymmetric factions, two unique maps, and a tactical new Hireling deck to your table. Whether you want to broker peace, run an underground extortion ring, or battle across shifting terrains, this expansion completely transforms how Root is played. What’s Inside the Box? 💥 3 New Playable Factions Lilypad Diaspora: A peaceful society of frogs and toads trying to integrate into the Woodland. But beware—if simple misunderstandings escalate, they quickly tip into militant aggression and fierce retaliation. Twilight Council: A political assembly of bats who are sick of the endless bloodshed. They pass strict edicts that completely lock down clearings from building or recruiting, forcing the Woodland to settle their disputes through debate instead of combat. Knaves of the Deepwood: A chaotic band of skunk miscreants operating from the shadows. They launch surprise raids to take enemy warriors hostage, holding them for lucrative, point-scoring ransoms. 🗺️ 2 All-New Boards The Gorge Map: A highly tactical board where positioning is everything. Players must navigate and fight around a giant, central dam that shifts the dynamics of the map. The Marsh Map: An expandable, high-player-count board featuring 15 total clearings instead of the standard 12—perfect for massive, chaotic games. 🦆 Fresh Gameplay Components Squires & Disciples Deck: A brand-new set of Hirelings (including ducks, frogs, and bats) that introduce localized AI-driven modules to build and protect their own farms, shaking up strategies for any player count.
