Root: The Clockwork Expansion - An expansion set for the board game "Root" that enhances solo and small-group play

Introduction

Root: The Clockwork Expansion expands the world of the popular board game Root. With this expansion, you can play solo or in small groups against automated, AI-controlled factions. Will your strategy bear fruit in an epic tale of forest dominance? Introducing this expansion that offers more flexibility in your playstyle while retaining the appeal of the base game.

Expansion Set Overview

Root: The Clockwork Expansion includes automated AI factions that are a direct replacement for the four factions from the Root base game: the Marquise, the Eyrie, the Alliance, and the Wanderer. These Clockwork factions (Mechanical Marquise 2.0, Electrical Eyrie, Automated Alliance, and Vagabot) act automatically with programmed movements.

This expansion allows for the following playstyles:

• Solo Play: Play alone against the Clockwork faction
• Small-player Complement: Adding the Clockwork faction for low player counts
• Co-op: All players take on the Clockwork faction

Features and attractions

Various difficulty settings

Each Clockwork faction comes with three difficulty levels, catering to a wide range of players from beginner to advanced. Additionally, you can add one to four unique traits to each faction, giving them new powers and capabilities, ensuring a fresh challenge each time you play.

Compatibility with other extensions

Root: The Clockwork Expansion is fully compatible with other expansions such as Riverfolk and Corvids. Combining different expansions allows for a more complex and in-depth gaming experience.

The appeal of asymmetrical design

The asymmetrical design that is Root's greatest feature remains strong in this expansion. Each faction has unique abilities and different victory conditions, forcing players to strategize around their faction's strengths. With the help of gorgeous multipurpose cards, truly asymmetrical design is more accessible than ever before.

The world of the game

The story unfolds in a vast forest area, with various factions vying for supremacy.

• The evil Marquis Cat has taken over the forest and is plotting to harvest its riches.
• Under the Marquis' rule, the many creatures of the forest banded together to form an alliance.
• The Alliance seeks to strengthen its resources and overthrow the Cats' rule
• Vagabonds, who can travel freely along the forest paths, may also help the Alliance.
• At the edge of the forest, the proud birds of prey that once ruled the forest are trying to reclaim their ancient rights.

In this epic tale, it's up to the player to decide which faction will ultimately take root in the forest.
