 Well, within this set of four factions, it's now the ivy's job to take care of the corvette. It'S not nearly as obvious as you start moving things together now, if you're a heavy root fan, if you play a ton of root and if you're reading, all the the forms and the strategy guys and this, and that you may know all those things as it Is well this combination of four? Obviously you do this. You do that. I do this, that's fine, but the way we played it the way we played and dived into the game dived into the world added new factions

 You score points, but you also have ways you score points that are different. You can craft cards from this common deck. That will score your points as well, but each faction has a different way. The the marquette cat will build buildings and score points

 They play different constrictions different abilities, different things that stop or change or add to the way they experience the game. You have factions like the ivy from the original base game who are playing a programming game. They are slotting cards into their decree and they are following their decree and if they ever can't follow their decree, if they ever can't recruit where they're supposed to recruit. If they ever can't move where they're supposed to move, they fall down, they are proud

 It is not a surface level asymmetry. It is fully a different game that intertwines and interweaves in ways that other games, don't i've played games that have a level of working together of being involved in each other's faces that have lower asymmetry and i've played games that had higher asymmetry. But in no way did you ever interact that, in symmetry with the other players root is the one game i've played that does both well, it does both brilliantly and it does that hybrid of engagement and asymmetry to a very, very high degree, and so for a Few years became one of the best games, i'd ever gotten rid of and then cove it happened and that might sound like a weird tangent to a review like whoa. What just happened here like why? How in the world did we just go from a review of root of it left the collection and now suddenly in the middle cove it happened

Root Review - A Love Story With Ups & Downs

 Isle of Cats and Root are our most recently purchased and am looking forward to playing those as well.   

 That, again, requires knowledge of every faction on the board. Playing a high reach faction like the Marquise de Cat comes with the responsibility of policing the board, which might be daunting for new players since the Marquise is seemingly the 'easiest' faction to pick up when in fact they can have a rough time if you're not on the ball with them. Which is why I recommend new players get familiar with the Eyrie Dynasties first. 

 I just wanted more Root! After a ton of games Root is still magical to me. Root at its core is an adventurous concept that sometimes doesn't reach the potential of its ideas. Players need to keep an eye on each-other and keep each-other in check before one faction runs off with the win. That might mean sacrificing some or all of the limited amount of actions you can do in a turn to deal with a future problem that affects all the other players

 The 'Favor' cards that are in the original base deck become almost game-breaking in the right circumstances, especially in the hands of a crafty player who chose the 'Tinkerer' vagabond. 

 I'M just gon na continue pulling you through the thicket of what route is. So we can get to the review, I'm getting a bit peckish Ashley! You have one of them: granola bars, you ate them both already. A third player can control the woodland alliance, a band of scrappy rebels made up of the bunnies and foxes and mice that actually live here and want to take the wood back from these two tyrants. Don'T be fooled by these cute little mouse soldiers

 Well, if you're willing to pay the beavers a very interesting price, now you can the beavers set prices for their river boats and cards and mercenaries on the board, and people can pay warriors from their supply to the Beavers, and these warriors then act as coins that The beavers can spend to Bill's shops around the board or deploy yet more killer beavers, and it's just fabulous in one game. I played the beaver player built a massive gang of beavers that we all threw money at to try and steer them around like a wrecking ball until we realize that in paying that cost, we were funding yet more killer, beavers and [ Music ] suddenly, once again, Just looking at all these beautiful factions - I'm thinking - maybe next time you know maybe next time I'll play with the cats and the birds, but with the river folk company on the winter board and what'll that be like, but more realistically, maybe next time I'll just play A different game, one that can fulfill its core promise and when my friends leave my house saying that game was great. Yes maybe, but I don't know, I feel it was honest. I just I've

 Finally, a player can step into the supple leather boots of the vagabond who's, not an army, but a roguish wanderer, and while the forest is alive with war, the vagabond plays something like a private role-playing game, traveling around tidying up, quests and dragging swords out of caves And if they so choose, perhaps helping to stop any players that get too powerful by committing some light arson now soldiers can't kill the vagabond, but instead damage his items. Perhaps sending him limping back into the forest to lick his wounds and get the dents out of his teakettle with a little hammer, and I thought we could actually end the rules. Explanation there and move more on to the review. Yeah

 We did. It happened now as the birds to simulate your capricious government. You'Ve got something called the decree and you must add cards to this medieval command line every turn. So at the start of the game you might say I'm gon na recruit then move then battle, but by turn through you might say, uh-huh I'm gon na recruit twice then move twice once out of a fox clearing, then battle twice then build in a fox, caring And if you ever can't execute the entirety of this line, your government collapses

Root (and the Riverfolk Expansion) - Shut Up & Sit Down Review

 Every time we finished we kinda scratched our heads and blinked liked we were emerging from a powerful hangover. I’m glad Tom mentions the investment because that’s what Oath feels like to me - but it’s a heavy upfront investment that has yet to pay us any dividends. 

 I’ve played it 3 times so far, which is not a lot, but after one play of Root and PP2e both me and my group clicked and saw what the games had to offer if we got good at them. Oath has not done this yet. Every time we finished we kinda scratched our heads and blinked liked we were emerging from a powerful hangover.

SU&amp;SD review Oath - 2021's Most Exciting Boardgame

 It is easy to make bad moves in this game. There is also a relatively steep learning curve, especially if you don't come from a board game background. Each faction functions very differently, scoring points in different ways and having different mechanics in general. Due to the tightness, it generally feels like there is a best play not necessarily to get ahead in the short term, but to prevent someone else from snowballing

Root is a pretty tight game. For better or worse, every move you make carries a lot of weight. It is easy to make bad moves in this game. There is also a relatively steep learning curve, especially if you don't come from a board game background

 There are light catch up mechanics to minimize this, but it generally feels best to keep everyone in a pack, breaking out only near the end to win abruptly. 

 You will not understand what your opponents are doing for the better part of the first game at least. This game offers fewer choices than most strategy video games, but the abstract nature makes it very interesting and fun to play. This is a digital rendition of a board game more than it is a video game, expect simple art and animations and relatively dry feeling game play.

More recent titles have all kinda just left with a "that was fun enough" reaction rather than a "Let's play again!" reaction, or even just a "I'd rather play x designer's older games" It's not for lack of trying. Some of the more recent lauded games I've played are  **Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion (2020), The West Kingdom Trilogy ('18, '19 '20),  Maracaibo (2019), Underwater Cities (2018), Hallertau (2020), Tekhenu (2020) Sleeping Gods (2021), Cryptid (2018), Wingspan (2019), Root (2018), 7th Continent (2017).** It's not that I don't think these games are good, they are, but they just seem to lack a bit of a wow factor for me, and out of all those games, I'd rather play something on my first list.

  This doesn't seem to be a "target the human at all costs" AI issue either, because they will make the same mistake when I am in the lead-- attacking each other pointlessly, while I have poorly defended territory.

  They only needed 2 more victory points to secure the win.  This could have been done easily by building a card I gave them the previous turn, and moving once and attacking a defenseless rebel sympathizer.  Unfortunately, with four moves in their turn, they only decided to do 1 out of 3, and lost the game for both of us.

  Either one of us could have stopped the birds individually by sending them into turmoil.  Unfortunately, the AI decided to attack me instead, thus making it so neither of us could win.  This doesn't seem to be a "target the human at all costs" AI issue either, because they will make the same mistake when I am in the lead-- attacking each other pointlessly, while I have poorly defended territory.

  Thus they caused both of us to lose the game.  I'm surprised that this is not only a legal move, but that they would even consider it an intelligent choice, since  they get no victory points or other benefits by attacking me.

First of all, is it just the two of you?  I wouldn’t suggest either game for only 2 players however Root does have the Automa (sp?) expansion but I don’t like to play with those. 

Looking to pick one of these up today after work. Not sure which one to go for. 

My wife and I play board games once or twice a week and we have been eyeing these two. I play with my board game group once a month and it seems both of these would be good to bring out with a group. 

I like that choices in Oath can influence future games. 

I’m a sucker for collecting expansions so Root looks great in that way. 

Which do you prefer between these two and why?

Root or Oath? Which should I buy?

Dozens upon dozens of attempts as the Woodland Alliance to complete their challenges involved spreading sympathy tokens (their main mode of advancing throughout the Woodland) and either the Marquise or Eyrie solely targeting them and allowing the other to earn an easy victory. While me, the humble Woodland Alliance continue the harsh cycle of: spread sympathy, lose sympathy, repeat.

 No victory, but the Vagabond decided to dance around the Woodland and assault one of my clearings, followed by the Marquise attacking two more and stealing the win. On a second attempt, this time with a Fox Dominance, I won, same situation but it worked. 

 I controlled all four Mouse clearings, had already crafted the Dominance card and had three bases built. When my Birdsong came up; nothing. No victory, but the Vagabond decided to dance around the Woodland and assault one of my clearings, followed by the Marquise attacking two more and stealing the win.
