It’s LIT

Like I said, it’s LIT

An incredible board game, a great digital edition

I recommend the physical copy as well! It’s just a little more expensive 😬

Genius game and fun for role play

I believe the Eyrie are the most interesting tabletop faction ever designed

Great

Beautiful rendition of the board game

Good game with terrible touch controls for a tiny screen

As someone who plays this game in person a decent amount, and has quite a few hours into the digital version, the strategy game itself is very good, with decent balance among factions that play very differently. My beef is that this is clearly not optimized for a small touchscreen, and if there wasn’t an undo option, I would have installed it ages ago. If you are playing it with a mouse and keyboard, it’s very precise, but the touchscreen controls work poorly, and I and others I play with have frequent misclicks in game. While this isn’t always a big deal, there are certain actions which can’t be taken back (for good reason) so the frequency at which this occurs can change the game if done at an inopportune time. Please devs, fix the controls so that they actually feel like they belong on something people control with their fingers!!!

Absolutely Amazing

A necessary experience for any human’s life to meaningful. The game of a lifetime. The best board games oat, and I don’t think it’s close. The amount of nuance, strategy, and unique playstyles is unparalleled by any war game, or board game for that matter. It takes a while to get, but once you get it, you won’t be able to stop playing.

ROOT!!!

Very smooth, no bugs (as far as I can tell), and accommodating. Worth every penny! I live far away from my friends and don’t get the chance to play the physical game often. So, this scratches the itch for sure!

Great way to learn for beginners and great way to understand true rules for veterans

I’ve been playing root, the actual table top game for over a year now. It’s been a great time so if you’re wondering if this game is worthwhile it absolutely is. A great deal of skill expression with so many factions you’re bound to love one of them and they’re all so different. This online client is an excellent way to learn and practice each faction. They’re cheaper here than when you buy them physically, so great there. Plus the rules are enforced so you get to see how a real game should run. The o my downside is that it’s not up to date with whatever is the newest expansion. Fingers crossed it will be soon. So we’re missing a few factions.

To the fellow root enjoyers, this client is excellent for many reasons. Chief among them is the fact you get to see how the rules should play out. Play on here enough and you can see what moves you can take back vs can’t, what specific situations look like and an overall understanding of the rules. Unfortunately the new expansion isn’t here. But other than the changes they made. This client is law in our group. It’s great to see how things should be set up and interacted with in real time. Definitely recommend getting this and all the expansions.

Love this game

Helped me learn the rules of playing the board game with less friction

Pretty great

Overall on a phone it does justice, there are the common pop ups for leave a review and other games to check out but you can quickly get rid of them, amazing game and tutorial is super helpful, overall I’d say it’s worth the price, and optional expansions but not needed

Great board game to app adaptation!

When I get the itch to play game root but don’t have the time or availability to get with people in person and play it’s fun to play this with people online or even against bots. It also helps you to learn the rules of root very quickly and effectively.

Top-Notch Woodland Mayhem

Excellent implementation of one of my favorite board games.

Overly complicated

People seem to like this game but it feels way overly complicated and NOT for beginners at all. I fell asleep trying to learn the second tutorial. Sadly this is the only mobile game I've ever purchased and I regret it.

Good port, issues on computer

Pretty good port! The only issue I have is that on laptop it does not support touchpad - which means that you’re stuck with first “helper” popup forever

Love this game

Great game can’t wait for the next expansion

Great game

I wish there was an option for 60fps+ instead of locking it to 30. I know it doesn’t really matter for a digital board game but it’d be nice.

Amazing game but…

My only problem is that you have to pay for the expansion after paying for the main game but thats it so if you want it go get it

What an amazing game!

Wow. This game has changed my life! I play every single day with my friends. Leder Games really know what they’re doing, and every expansion pack is fabulous. The app is great, and has only minor flaws. I wish the fast-forward feature was faster.

Amazing strategy game. Git it.
