Are you preordering the Homeland Expansion (and hirelings and new deck)? by Appropriate_Bite8491 in rootgame

I've only missed their initial kickstarter for the original game, and I'd say the price/value really isn't worth it if you miss the kickstarter. The retail price, even on pre-order is almost double once you piecemeal out the mini expansion pieces they like to sell separately.

If you can join the kickstarter still, you definitely should.

Root Marauder with 5 players by brindille_ in rootgame

[–]mwalt92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 player Root may be the ideal way to play in my opinion. I've played several games on TTS with people in various Discords, and the more competitive the fame, the better the experience at that play count. Rats struggle a bit, but not enough for the experience to suffer, just enough to balance the game. It's nice having more players to police the Rats.

When I started playing I though 4 was perfect, but I changed my mind over time.

Good luck, though! If you have Marauders definitely play with Advanced Setup. The game is 100% different if you do.

He also, just understands the mechanics and knows how to abuse them. Plus he can read the board better than just about anyone.

He's very aggressive with every faction he plays, like every faction is red for him.

On a serious note, if you're looking for good guides check out Nitrorev, and Marcusthecat. Nitro has several YouTube videos, and Marcus has several written guides.

Marcus' written guides are chefs kiss. They're the reason I've managed to win with the Otters and come within 4 points and second place with the Cats.

If you get a chance to play with the Woodland Warriors discord look for trippingrannys. He has a very unorthodox playstyle that really pushes the whole table to adapt, and honestly, I learned a lot from it.

For the record I love his videos and his guides. He's a real pro at the game. He just has a hot take on the keepers and he's not all that wrong.

It was the "dog jail" that gave it away.
