Started playing Root again after my friend reintroduced me to it at their place. They can't stop playing it, so neither can I. Need to stage an intervention as this plays true to the board game and is really convenient. 10/10 adaptation

Board game was already awesome, but the steam game just makes it x100 better for me. It makes my favorite board game portable and very easy to setup/play. I can even play it on the steam deck which has been my favorite thing to do when I am board on a plane/train ride.

Root is a fun electronic board game, I've been playing it for almost 2 years now, on and off. I enjoy that the new expansions' creatures are being introduced as well - it keeps the game more interesting.

I love Root. The design, the concept, all of it. It's an amazing RL tabletop game. This digital version is not. Faction Sheets are missing rules that are supposed to be public knowledge (Woodland Alliance missing Martial Law, Marquise De Cat missing bird card for extra plays, probably others). The AI will gladly drag a last place solo player down further while not punishing or even attempting to stop other AI players who are in score lead to win. That's not how this game plays on tables. I don't have to use this game in order to play Root, I wanted it to play when I'm alone or to practice. Sadly having done the tutorials in completion, and played three games with friends and six games solo, I'm ineligible to refund it.

Great artwork...completely gives the feel of the boardgame. You can play with friends or solo and every game is a new challenge. Highly recommend!

Its a great computer game adaptation of the board game root; HOWEVER! Ridiculously bad ai - as in a 6 year old can do better - which ruins the game every time someone leaves it. PLEASE FIX The ranking system is completely hacked. I have played since the start of Root online, and I have almost a 1000 points in ranking... having won a vast majority of games... like 4 out of 7 or such. And other players have 100,000 points. Its impossible and I think the devs really owe it to us players to fix this.

Great asymmetric board game with a very smooth and helpful digital implementation. Makes things speed along faster than playing it physically and has syncing/cross play with the Android version as well. Would recommend for any group that loves board games and wants to play more actively.

hard learning curve for new players and would probably benefit more from a better explanation of the rules, however, as an owner of the game + expansions in its board game form, to see onw of my favourite board games get a digital adaptation is nothing short of amazing. would recommend to any lovers of strategy games

The game is nice and interesting to play, i spent much more hours in the challenge mode when i expected. I think its tedious to play an offline version, but hot-seat with friends is nice. And it is really cheap

Root is a master class of asymmetrical game design. I would recommend everyone to play it at least once

The game is great. Even if you have no one to play root with, you can play online or versus bots. (And of course Root itself is a great game).

This is a great way to learn the game. I have the board game, but don't get to play it with 4 players much, so this has been great for me. I'm hooked!

The board game is great, the app is incredibly helpful to learn the board game and be able to play it more often. I fully recommend getting this just for the tutorials, and the full game itself is also worth the $$$

This game is really cool I like how unique each faction is. They are each their own game in a way, but they all interact in a really cool way. The rules are not overly complicated, but there is enough mechanical depth to get the gears turning in your head. You can: - stage uprisings - cause political turmoil within your enemy's faction that deposes their leader - profit off war - start a cult Is cool game Also perfect for steam deck so you can play on the toilet.

I like playing as each faction, the fun comes when planning your next move, only to be foiled by a lucky opponent. Lots of replayability and a good way to hone strategies for when you play on the physical board game.

Much faster than playing on tabletop or TTS. The board game itself is amazing, easily one of the best ever made

Clunky interface that hides key game state information. View frequently defaults to an angle emphasizing cutesy animations that are irrelevant to game play. Some rules implemented differently from the board game. Not available on Linux, Excessively long development times for each expansion. Note that there was an online interface that implemented new Root releases within days, if not hours, and did not have these problems. Dire Wolf C&Ded it. Only real plus is that the scenarios and achievements are cool. The price is also reasonable.

The game is absolutly awfull! 40 euro wasted! I am not use to give bad reviews but this destroyed all my expectations! The graphic are very nice and attractive but the mechanics not funny and the expansion make it even worst, the game has no objective and you win or lose without realising what you are doing. there is no strategy or the mechanics are too convoluted. Too short or too long, too complicated or too simple, you get point for doing nothing or you need to achieve too much, it's a mess and the game designer didn't understood where the fun is in playing! It could be a funny game but it's not , don't buy it !
