Root: The Marauder Expansion

Two more ways to be resented in the Woodland.

Leder Games' expansion bringing the Lord of the Hundreds and the Keepers in Iron into Root's forest war. The Lord of the Hundreds is a mob of warlords who would sooner burn the Woodland than share it; the Keepers in Iron are an order retrieving relics they consider theirs by right. Both arrive with the usual artwork and the usual disregard for whatever you had planned.

These are not gentle additions. Alongside the two factions the box carries four hirelings — factions you rent rather than play, which lets a smaller group put proper pressure on the map — and a new setup draft built to suit a casual table and a competitive one equally. The player count goes up to six, at which point the Woodland stops being a metaphor.

Requires the Root base game to play.

Perfect for: Groups whose Root evenings have quietly settled into the same three factions every time.

Expansion | 2–6 players | 60–90 minutes | Age 10+
