Root: Marauder Hirelings Pack & Hireling Box
Need allies? Here they are, fiery and fierce. Discover unique strategies and make the woodland wilder by adding hirelings. Best with fewer players, great with more.
Hirelings can be added at any player count. With fewer players, they add new pieces to the map, ramping up the tension and giving you more tactical options. With more players, some hireling cards flip over to reveal special abilities, letting you explore unique and powerful strategies. They lend their services to the faction in the lead, then grow dissatisfied as the conflict drags on and may change allegiance to a new patron.
This pack includes three Marauder-themed hirelings, plus a storage box that can hold hirelings from this pack and the others in the series.
Flame Bearers / Rat Smugglers. Burn it all down with the Flame Bearers, or dispatch special orders with Rat Smugglers.
Street Band / Popular Band. Capture attention with the Street Band, or put on a woodland show with the Popular Band.
Vault Keepers / Badger Bodyguards. Preserve the ancient ways with the Vault Keepers, or shield yourself from harm with Badger Bodyguards.
