Play the digital adaptation of the beloved tabletop board game. Root is a game of adventure and war where 2 to 4 players battle for control of a vast wilderness. The nefarious Marquise de Cat has seized the great woodland, intent on harvesting its riches. Under her rule, the many creatures of the forest have banded together. This Alliance will seek to strengthen its resources and subvert the rule of Cats. In this effort, the Alliance may enlist the help of the wandering Vagabonds who are able to move through the more dangerous woodland paths. Though some may sympathize with the Alliance’s hopes and dreams, these wanderers are old enough to remember the great birds of prey who once controlled the woods. Meanwhile, at the edge of the region, the proud, squabbling Eyrie have found a new commander who they hope will lead their faction to resume their ancient birthright. The stage is set for a contest that will decide the fate of the great woodland. It is up to the players to decide which group will ultimately take root.

Think before you flip. Every card hides a number or a hidden bomb, and the clues are all you get. Bombs & Numbers is a pure deduction puzzle for people who love to reason, not gamble. Read the row and column clues, work out which cards are safe, and build the longest coin streak you can without flipping the one card that ends the round. No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. No internet required. Just a clean grid and your own logic. WHY YOU WILL LIKE IT - A calm, focused brain workout you can play one screen at a time - Minesweeper-style clue logic with a fresh risk-and-reward twist - Eight levels of rising difficulty that reward sharper deduction - Pencil-mark memo mode to track your reasoning on every card - Fully offline, distraction-free, and respectful of your time - Game Center leaderboards and achievements to chase HOW TO PLAY - Each card in the 5x5 grid hides a 1, a 2, a 3, or a bomb - Every row and column shows two clues: the total of its values and how many bombs it contains - Flip a card to add its value to your coin streak (your coins are the running product of the cards you flip) - Flipping a 1 keeps you safe but does not grow your score - Flip a bomb and the round ends, costing you that round's coins - Clear every 2 and every 3 on the board to advance to the next level - Use the clues, deduce the safe cards, and climb to level 8 DEDUCTION, NOT LUCK The board is always solvable with careful thinking. Like a nonogram or a Sudoku, the answer is hiding in the clues. The only randomness is the layout you are given; the path through it is up to your logic. Lose a round and you drop a level, so steady reasoning beats reckless flipping every time.
