Root Board Game vs cell_hopper

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.

ATTENTION, OPERATIVE. The grid is uncharted. The world has been divided into hexagonal sectors and most of them remain unclaimed. Your assignment is simple: walk them, hold them, file them. — PRIMARY DIRECTIVE — Enter a hex. Hold position for 120 seconds. The sector is logged to your dossier under your callsign. Break perimeter before the timer completes and the claim is void. Move slow. Move deliberate. The grid rewards presence, not speed. — DISCOVERY PROTOCOL — Untouched sectors carry no name. The first operative on the ground gets naming rights — permanent, indexed, attributed. Every operative who walks the hex after you will see what you called it. Choose accordingly. — DOSSIER — Your file is public. Level, XP, sectors held, hexes discovered, streak intact. Other operatives can pull your record at any time. Build it. — STREAK DISCIPLINE — One sector per day. Miss it and the count resets. Streak bonuses compound your XP. The grid does not forgive lapses. — REAL-TIME OPS — The live map shows every claim as it lands. Watch other operatives work the grid. Watch your turf get walked through. Watch what gets named first. — RULES OF ENGAGEMENT — No microtransactions. No advertising channels. No pay-to-claim. The only currency is footsteps. You have your assignment. Boots on the ground. File the grid. cell_hopper // OPERATIVE SYSTEM
