If you thought the forest of Root was already chaotic, hold on tight because the Riverfolk expansion is here to turn up the heat! This isn't just a simple add-on; it's a massive update that drastically expands strategic possibilities and increases the number of players at the table. First off, we have the introduction of two new core factions that completely shift the game's dynamics: The Riverfolk Company, focused on trade and bargaining (perfect for those who love negotiating and manipulating the economy), and The Lizard Cult, which brings a more mystical and aggressive approach to territorial disputes.

But that's not all. If you enjoy playing as the Vagabond, there's a brand new Vagabond character available, adding more subtlety and tactical options for those who prefer to operate from the shadows. The real game-changer here is the versatility: the expansion allows Root to be played with up to 6 players, turning the match into a true organized chaos of political intrigue and territorial warfare.

For those who don't have a group or want to practice their tactics before crushing their friends, the expansion introduces solo play rules and cooperative scenarios. Now, you and your allies can team up to face the Mechanical Marquis in a mode where the goal is to overthrow the Marquis's tyranny together. With new components, Vagabond variants, and bot rules, the Riverfolk expansion transforms Root into an even deeper and more diverse experience. It's the ideal choice for those who have already mastered the base game and want to test new ways of dominating the forest, whether by negotiating lucrative trades or leading a fanatical cult.
