Ever looked at the Root map and felt like you needed that extra 'spark' to mess with your opponents' plans? That's exactly where the Hirelings come in. This expansion introduces fierce and fiery allies to the woodland, adding tactical layers that shift the game's dynamics based on your player count. It's not just about adding more pieces; it's about introducing new ways to manipulate the board.

In smaller games, hirelings fill the void, creating new friction points and forcing players to rethink their movements and positioning. In larger games, the experience evolves: certain hireling cards flip over to reveal powerful special abilities, unlocking unique strategies and high-impact combos that can swing the momentum of the match. The pack features a variety of new recruits, including Flame Bearers, Rat Smugglers, Vault Keepers, Badger Bodyguards, and both the Popular and Street Bands, each bringing their own brand of chaos to the struggle for forest dominance.

Beyond the gameplay additions, the set comes with a lovely storage box to keep all your hirelings organized, putting an end to the chaos of loose bags. It's the perfect upgrade for those who have mastered the base game and want to explore deeper nuances of asymmetry and area control. If you enjoy meticulous planning but love it when an unexpected ally arrives to cause some havoc, this pack is a must-have. Get ready to make the woodland wilder and more competitive than ever!
