Root - The Riverfolk Expansion

I've played this expansion together with all other expansions.Both riverfolk and lizard cult can only be played in games with 4 or more people because they have low reach values. But when you play with them... It's a blast! Their mechanics are so different from the original 4 factions that feels like you're playing a totally different game.I recommend this expansion for people who play with many players or if you also get the clockwork expansion, to automate extra players. :)

Amazing game

It's fun packed in a box. It's like D&D turned into in a board game, with cards instead of dice and DM. Takes time to unbox and set up (huge amount of token and cards), but this is fun too. Quality of parts is top notch. Gameplay is amazingly designed. You can choose how much you role play, but you can definitively role play if you want. Feels like a campaign setting for D&D.

Excellent addition to the base game

We've been playing the base game both in person and online for a little over a year. This expansion adds fresh factions and new vagabonds, which will keep the game fresh for even longer.

Feels like a tac on

The two included factions in Spock's feel like tackons and the robot character actually has a better version of it later in one of the expansions. The lizard poker are way too powerful and there's almost no way to counter them You just have to erase faster than they do. I would skip this expansion if you're not into random things just happening just to happen.

Fun add to up player count in root.

Adds two great factions to the game. The river folk markets can be challenging to integrate if all players aren't invested or distracted from the game, but they add fun variety. Lizard faction is slow to start but fun in a chaotic way.

Great game.

Still haven't played the game but played jaws of the lion and it was awesome. When I got mine, the box was bit teared up (fixed it with tape), definitely was the fault of the post. To conclude, if you have time and friends to play with I definitely recommend.

Husband loved it

Arrived in good time. Packaged well. Husband loved it

Lovely Addon

This is the first expansion to the base game, Root. The riverfolk expansion lends more depth and play to this asymmetric game. Good and consistent overall game components as well.

Riverfolk expansion a hit with gaming group

The base Root game is outstanding. I've only played one game so far and included the second Vagabond from the Riverfolk expansion. The gaming group really enjoyed the game.

Root: Riverfolk Expansion

A wonderful expansion to a unique board game. It adds two new factions that play completely differently to the base four and includes a mechanical marquis for you to try!
