ROOT EXPANSION THE UNDERWORLD

Root: The Underworld Expansion

The Root: The Underworld Expansion introduces two new factions and two new maps, adding fresh strategic depth and replayability to the Root board game. With unique playstyles and mechanics, these factions bring new levels of intrigue, control, and unpredictability to the battle for dominance in the woodland.

New Factions:

• Underground Duchy – Rising from beneath the woodland, the Underground Duchy seeks to expand its rule through construction, influence, and political maneuvering. By swearing loyalty to ministers and developing infrastructure, they quickly become a dominant force unless stopped early.
• Corvid Conspiracy – Masters of deception and sabotage, the Corvid Conspiracy plants hidden plots throughout the board, forcing other players to unravel their schemes before disaster strikes. Their stealthy tactics create chaos and uncertainty, making them a dangerous and unpredictable opponent.

New Maps:

• Mountain Map – A towering central mountain pass introduces a strategic choke point, where controlling key pathways can provide major advantages.
• Lake Map – Featuring a large central lake, this map adds a ferry system, allowing players to quickly traverse the board and control critical regions.

Why Add This Expansion?
The Underworld Expansion brings new layers of strategy and variety, making every game of Root feel fresh. Whether you’re expanding your empire with the Underground Duchy or sowing discord with the Corvid Conspiracy, this expansion deepens the tactical complexity while introducing exciting new dynamics to the battle for the woodland.
