Root: Riverfolk Expansion
The Riverfolk Expansion adds two new factions, three new Vagabond characters, and the Mechanical Marquise, a bot that lets you play Root solo, co-operatively, or against an automated opponent. It also includes the extra pieces you need to play with up to six people.
The Riverfolk Company are always on the hunt for new markets. They capitalise on crisis, offering services and expanding their trade posts to secure their status as merchant kings of the woodland.
The Lizard Cult attempts to indoctrinate the dispossessed creatures of the woods and spread its creed far and wide, building gardens and turning even its setbacks into opportunities.
A second Vagabond can now roam the forest alongside the first, choosing from three new characters: the Arbiter, the Scoundrel and the Vagrant. Between the new factions, the extra Vagabond and the Mechanical Marquise, the expansion opens up dozens of new player configurations.
