Root: The Riverfolk Expansion

Expand your woodland adventure with Root: The Riverfolk Expansion, an exciting addition to the award-winning asymmetric strategy game Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right.

With additional Vagabond characters, solo and cooperative bot options, and support for up to six players, this expansion brings fresh strategies and new possibilities to your Root collection.

Important: This is an expansion, not a standalone game. The original Root base game is required to play.
