About the game
What you do in a play session
If you are already a regular in the Root forest, you know that asymmetry is the heart of the experience. The Homeland Hirelings Pack arrives to add that extra spice to your games, bringing three new hirelings that can completely shift the board dynamics. We have the Freshwater Refugees, the Heartwood Peacemakers, and the neutral Prosperous Farmers. Each of these groups comes with a double-sided tarot card and unique meeples, ensuring that replayability hits a new level. Hirelings are perfect for those who miss that extra interaction or want to tweak the game's balance without needing a massive expansion. They function as units you can recruit, providing new strategic possibilities without overcomplicating the experience for those who already know the rules. It is the kind of content that, once you put it on the table, it is hard to imagine playing without. The component quality follows the series' impeccable standard, with art that brings these new forest inhabitants to life. If you are looking for more variety and want to test new tactics with your friends, this pack is a spot-on addition to your collection. Get ready to see the forest even more alive and full of interesting disputes with the arrival of these new allies (or enemies, depending on how you use them).
