@@LordoftheBoard If they make a Bunny Faction, Frankly I hope we get to play Relief efforts. I always like helping my fellow players, and I do like the concept of foreign forces coming to provide aid to the lands. For example the Berlin Airlifts!

I actually like the idea of a Faction forced to use only Volunteer units to go save the woodland. But again, this is all just my ambitions, nothing more.
The names of every faction so far are have always been bangers. I for one can't wait to try the Lilypad Diaspora, playing a faction that just wants to co-habitate peafully is pretty novel. Edit: I meant Twilight Concil!
Made a kickstarter account specifically to back this! Also thank goodness for the additional reward tiers. I never picked up the Riverfolk, so now I can complete my collection! These new factions look all so much fun! =D
Man, it’s so great to see you talk about Root again, brother. I’m SO excited for everything. It’s all so wonderful and I cannot wait to see how it blows the Woodland of my playgroups wide open…
Love your shirt! My fav old school Disney movie. Thanks for sharing your passion for Root! I shouldn't buy the $250 all-in, but I'm probably buying the all-in.
Awesome video! these factions were so confusing when reading the play boards, so your explanation was super helpful. I was also wondering several things: what is the reach for these factions? could you post the faction specific cards? and, when will you be covering the other stuff in the expansion?
@@LordoftheBoard Will wait for your vid for the skunks, I am a vagabond player and what I know is that the knaves of the deepwood is related to the vagabonds
You know: I dont like furries. I dont like that culture. But I really love the anthropomorphic animals of this game. They make me happy. My mother passed very recently, and I found solace in looking at the artwork of this game and having it nourish my soul.
They are from RSVLTS. Their Robin Hood Collection was an insta buy for me. Still a few I’m missing but they are pricey. Really great comfort and quality tho.
I love that they're making the game more playable for higher player counts. I've been brainstorming various ways to merge two maps to enable higher player counts without too much overcrowding, but I need a second copy of the base game to have enough items.
I've played a 9 player game of root when the second vagabond board was released. The moles never made it onto the board for a full turn cycle, it was so horrible, but fantastic. Of course the vagabond won by destroying a ton of marquis cardboard, because the marquis couldn't build anywhere
I think Root at a higher player count (although very hard to do depending on your group) is really fun and smart! The game thrives on chaos and I think it's probably the best way to play it. I really want to try it one day!
Well I'm done buying root expansions, so I definitely won't be getting this myself but I know a couple people who will surely buy it so I'm curious to try them out.
Hi ive been really interested in roots for a while and i've been waiting for something like deluxe/complete collection edition like everdell did, this seems like as close as we are going to get to it for the time being. Could you perhaps make a recommendation video for new players on the upcoming kickstarter and add-ons? Because going all in seems a bit overwhelming with everything that it offers, and the 150$ back seems like a fair mid point but im not sure which add-ons to get.. should i maybe just buy the base game and a all expansions? Or fewer expansions but more of the other add-ons.. Im not really sure how should i prioritize things and would love to get your advice regarding this dilemma :)
Oh maaan! Another expansion for my most favourite game that I almost never play simply because I have so few people to play with! ... My son can't grow up fast enough!
So the frogs will work well with 2 player I think. As long as you have hirelings. Bats may be more tough because they seem to be a lot more sporadic and less presence as a whole
Lilypad Diaspora looks very cool. I am not so excited about Twilight Council. I am most excited about the new maps and new deck. However, I probably won't be backing this one as I think there are enough factions already. 5 militant and 5 insurgent is enough variety for me.
I have never played root and I think it's a game for me. I see the 250 dollar pledge that gives EVERYTHING (except clockwork) and I really am thinking about buying it. First I will have to play a few games though
So frogs are militant and would work against factions like cats and rats (other militant factions) but the bats seem more insurgent so it wouldn’t be an entirely fair matchup
come visit me in Canada some day and we'll do an 8-player game of ROOT, card max increases to 8 per hand, VP increased to 40, double vag items regardless, double ruin regardless, playing with all 3 decks too. we'll go crazy
And Skunks? … holy moly! I need to sit down from excitement 🦨 🐸 🦇
Robin Hood/ Animal Trafficker Skunks at that, o_O Glad they are doing some interesting things with Vagabonds

The kickstarter reached it's goal in 15 minutes, so excited that everyone is actively supporting root
I backed it before even reading the description. Can't have my collection missing anything 😁
They literally just dropped the Kickstarter and announced a 3rd faction!!
Yup!!! Insane 🔥🔥
whats your opinion about the Form factor of this Expansion, the 2 Maps 3 factions and propably a new deck as a new Expansion. Im super hyped ❤
😮😮😮
"small part" bro made a WHOLE MAP
You're awesome and Leder was amazing in incorporating your work into canon! Hope to play a match with u someday :)
It's so cool to see it come together! :) join my discord! I play async games often with members.
do you have any idea what the other map is about
3 Factions! 2 Maps! And a new deck! Cant wait
3 factions ?

Literally so excited
the self painted faces look awesome :D very nice job
Thank you so much 😀
I can not wait to kickstart this! Nice work Sam, thanks for giving us the scoop!
Appreciate it! 🤩

These new factions look all so much fun! =D
Incredibly excited for this expansion, and nearly just as excited for your guides on the factions! LOL.
Woohoo just placed my pledge can’t wait for this next expansion it looks awesome already 🎉🎉
So stoked as well! So happy to be apart of it
As usual. Amazing video! Congratulations for the map! We will be more than happy to play it!
Backed it just now! Excited!
Me too :)

Awh thank you Root Brother. It feels good to be back in DEEP. And I can’t wait for you to see these whackos. They are both great fun so far
I'm pretty interested in how the Knaves will wind up working, because so many people dislike the Vagabond so this could offer an alternate take.
who in their right mind dislike cute lil' VB's?
Great explanation of the factions!
Glad they made sense! :) thank you!!
Greetings from Argentina! I recently started to play root the physical Board game and I love your videos!
Thank you for watching! Glad you're enjoying Root :)
Oh my goodness this is so HYPE! Every single part of this is simply amazing!
Love your shirt! My fav old school Disney movie. Thanks for sharing your passion for Root! I shouldn't buy the $250 all-in, but I'm probably buying the all-in.
Same here!
It’s almost to good of a deal!!! I want to do it too
First time I am seeing a video for the newest upcoming expansion. Neat.
Soooooooo excited for this! Can't wait!
Root review video with Disney villains easter egg, perfect
Omg thank you for this video! So much information!
Glad to be of service! :D
This game is so good at contextualizing all the rules, all the factions really feel like different cultures growing in different ways
I completely agree
oh boy, Disney is coming for that shirt for sure
Don’t worry! It’s officially licensed 💪🏽
love the outfit you're rocking in this video
Thank you so much :) love Robin Hood!!
here for the hand-drawn tokens!🐸🦇
I did my best lol
Backed it this morning!!! So hyped!!
Let's gooooooo!!!!
Cant wait for the bats to make it to the ttrpg
The expression on the Lilypad Diaspora warriors' faces look like Little Orphan Orange from Otter Pops.
It’s wonderful!! 😆

I NEED to know where you get your shirts. Robin Hood is my favorite movie. I love each one of those shirts!
They are from RSVLTS. Their Robin Hood Collection was an insta buy for me. Still a few I’m missing but they are pricey. Really great comfort and quality tho.
@@LordoftheBoard Thanks! They're going straight on my Christmas list! This website will be a problem, though... That's too many awesome shirts.

damn I am out of the backing window. Hopefully the expansion hits the stores soon.
They do late backing too! I would look up homeland expansion on backer kit!
@LordoftheBoard Thanks for the heads up! Got a late pledge👍

Frogs may be my new favorite
Yes

can I just point out how fantastic looking the Robin Hood shirts are?
Awh thank you!! Rsvlts makes amazing products

Haha I can’t wait to see it on digital, that will be really cool

09:50 A little mistake here: on a player board is "...card must have crafting icons at least equal...", not higher. Anyhow thanks for video! :)
I spoke with Josh and it seems to be an error on the board side!
@@LordoftheBoard They changed bc too easy to beat attackers card?
@@pandemlight I am assuming so!

Keep noticing the slick sleeves on your Root videos. Could you share which ones you are using or would recommend?
Thank you! I use the Dragon Shield Matte Sleeves. ❤️
I know 2p is not ideal for root. But that's usually how I play. Thoughts on the new factions in a 2p setting? Hirelings might help?
So the frogs will work well with 2 player I think. As long as you have hirelings. Bats may be more tough because they seem to be a lot more sporadic and less presence as a whole
Lilypad Diaspora looks very cool. I am not so excited about Twilight Council. I am most excited about the new maps and new deck. However, I probably won't be backing this one as I think there are enough factions already. 5 militant and 5 insurgent is enough variety for me.
right now the kickstarter got €930,239 pledged of the €92,572 goal. thats 1005% of the goal
I'm from TCG background. Will i love root as a boardgame? Will this game great for 2 players? what's the optimal number of players?
I have never played root and I think it's a game for me. I see the 250 dollar pledge that gives EVERYTHING (except clockwork) and I really am thinking about buying it. First I will have to play a few games though
Homeland. OK great but steam needs to put on the Marauders! :D This is really cool though. :)
Hopefully marauders come soon!
AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
I mainly play 2 player with my son. Would be great to know how compatible the new factions are in a 2 player game.
So frogs are militant and would work against factions like cats and rats (other militant factions) but the bats seem more insurgent so it wouldn’t be an entirely fair matchup
To be more specific, Diaspora has 7 reach like the Eyrie, Council is 5 like Riverfolk/Vagabond One, and Knaves are 4. All tentative.
wait so can you remove frog tokens? I didn't really get that part
Yep they are still considered tokens :)
come visit me in Canada some day and we'll do an 8-player game of ROOT, card max increases to 8 per hand, VP increased to 40, double vag items regardless, double ruin regardless, playing with all 3 decks too. we'll go crazy
Sounds like a wild time! 🔥
Love the shirt
Thank you so much!
Dang dude, your shirt is awesome
Thank you so much :)
do we know anything about the reach? or is that something that the community desides?
No news yet!!!
Did they change the color of the frogs? They seem less Yellow and more greenish which i like!
These are just what we received. The actual color is on the campaign page :)
Nice video! I have a question: is it possible to get the Spanish version through the kickstarter?
no creo, ya que la compañía que hace el port a español es 2tomatoes, no leder games
I do not believe so but I am unsure :/
Nice Robin Hood shirt
Why thank you :)
Great vod, a question guys does backing the expansion on kickstarter by 50$ actually gets me the expansion on launch?
It will get you the expansion. But it’ll take time. And will probably deliver around 2026
@@LordoftheBoard I see great thank you, I believe it's still worth it rather than ordering it after release
@@LordoftheBoard Much thanks
I like how this expansion is just about ethnic violence and trying to resolve it
Why would I assemble instead of battling? Aside from the concession thing, I mean; I'm not following the benefit of it?
The Bats have to assemble. Other factions have to discard all cards that match the clearings suit if they battle in a clearing with an assembly.
Next Expansion, Monkeys and Bunnies!
Yes Sam we know you like to yap
so are the frogs a militant or insurgent faction?
Militant that can be played insurgently :)
why has no one yet make these for TTS...
They are not officially released as PNPS to the community yet. But will slowly be as the campaign goes on.
Diaspora came out the other day, the others also "release" on the following Fridays after that (explicitly Nov 1/8)
Does your Cat plushie have a Rabbit or a Lizard beenie?
That would be a lizard cult beanie :

YOOOOO another root expansion is going in my collection, anybody play this game, cause i need people to play it with?
