Root: The Riverfolk Expansion

Adds two playable factions and additional components that expand the base game to support up to six players. One faction is a mercantile river trading company that hires warriors, builds posts along waterways, and offers services in exchange for goods and funds. The other is a zealous cult that spreads its influence by converting clearings and recruiting followers to score points through devotion. The box also includes an extra vagabond, three new vagabond variants, a card holder for the river faction, cooperative scenarios, and rules for bot play to enable automated opponents.

  • Angel Acevedo García8.0

    Probably some of the weakest and most oddly designed factions in the game, also this expansion doesn't bring much content like other expansions. You can safely skip this one unless you really want the factions
