Thank you both for all your videos, I have wanted to get into Root for a long time but always felt intimidated by the perceived complexity. Thanks to both of your channels, I feel really equipped to not only play but also teach Root and its expansions with my friends. I thought it was funny that you were both in this same game and that LotB didn't recognize your name haha. Great game, fun to watch full playthroughs and actually understand what's going on finally 😅

As a cat main, feel so related, cats always act like a boss at the start of the game, and then with more and more build spots taken by others, just lose the momentum and be helpless to watch other factions to catch up and win.

@ShikiRen 2 жыл бұрын

I think in the newest board game version, Cats can now rescue all lost cats of a battle with one card via field hospital? (print ver. 4) That likely helps with reconquering and -building. EDIT: Checked with my board game, indeed they do.

@zigoter2185 11 ай бұрын

When I play as Eyrie I always choose comander and get a bird build card. This seems to be a slower, but a more reliable way to play, as you expand slower, but if you play your cards right and balance battles with recruites and have your roosts sometimes destroyed you can win without going into turmoil at all. However if you get a turmoil you are in a solid position to regroup and get these last few point for a victory.

@@LordoftheBoard Yeah, it feel tense because at 27:18 the vagabond cleared the wrong clearing and at 31:45 the cult goes for a risky agressive suicide crusade (4 vs 6 cats) leaving his garden undefended (only ambush). For the last 3 rounds, it was your game to loose. The cat came close to stealing the win with lucky draws, the vagabond bad poor call and the lizard leaving himself open. Root is such a great game !

I don’t play Vagabond much. But when I do - I usually see what I get from the ruins. If I get the bag or and a sword I’ll just stop to slow down the other factions. Usually mix aiding (trying to get tea) and then go hostile and instigate. Sometimes coalition if I’ve failed at the earlier steps

"Marquis" has a soft "r" and silent "s", so it is not "Marcus D. Katt" it is "Mah Kiddy Cat". I know I am a killjoy, I just wanted to point out the intended pun.

You are correct. Only the problem is that it is written “Marquise” De Cat with an e at the end. Which is pronounced (Maar Keez). Marquis is for a male and Marquise as it is written is a female. Making the Marquise de cat a she! Which is awesome

@mistercookboom1899 2 жыл бұрын

Playing the game more and more, Im starting to realize the vital flaw with the game. The gameplay is fantastic, everyone has a great time, all until one play gains the lead. Points in this game is a momentum system. If one player is flying in the lead its near impossible for the others to catch up. You can try to stop them, all working together, but in that situation the person in the lead loses that momentum, making it extremely difficult to regain footing. If you, Lord of the Root, (or anyone else here) has a solution to this flaw, please let me know. Or if you think im crazy and are simply having really bad games, feedback would be nice. Im not disappointed with the game at all still, if the point factor is removed from the game its a fun game,

@LordoftheBoard 2 жыл бұрын

I would disagree. This game is a perfect example of that. Cats were leading the majority of the game. They gained the point lead - but didn’t win. In root there are constantly 2 games being played. The game on the board. And the political game at the table. If you shoot up in points too fast players will all knock you down. Often players will attempt to stay second to seize the player in firsts position when they are taken down. Also as everyone is the same skill in the game it lends to much closer games. I would suggest watching games that are played by everyone at an equal skill level. You can find some on Guerric Samples Games. I’ve been on there a few times :)
