Root: The Marauder Expansion is a upcoming set expansion for the classic strategy game Root! Take on two new factions to conquer the Woodland either through destruction or relic hunting!

The Marauder Expansion introduces two powerful new factions into the battle for the Woodlands – The Lord of Hundreds and The Keepers in Iron. The Lord of Hundreds uses a vast army to burn and pillage the Woodlands. Destroy buildings, set fires to various sections of the map, and claim crafted items from players. But be careful – the more powerful the Lord becomes, the more he becomes monomanical.

The Keepers in Iron are relic hunters. Reminiscent of the Vagabond, the Keepers in Iron are in search of lost ancient items that are scattered throughout the Woodlands. This faction utilizes trade routes and alliance craft to control the board, but they will still have plenty of enemies. Be careful going head to head in combat with this group – their armor is particularly hard to bite into.

Also coming to this set are Hirelings! These small bands controlled by the game can add additional challenges at any player count. Add in the new upcoming draft mechanic, and you can make your upcoming casual or competitive game of Root one to remember.
