About the game
What you do in a play session
It's not just the factions getting an upgrade, though; the battlefield itself evolves. The expansion introduces two brand-new maps that completely shift the area control dynamics. On the mountain map, the gameplay revolves around digging tunnels, fundamentally changing how you navigate the territory. Meanwhile, the lake map forces players to fight for control of the ferry, a vital strategic point that can swing the entire game. If you already love the brutal asymmetry of Root, this expansion is the perfect spice to keep your sessions fresh and unpredictable. Lay out your plans, hide your secrets, and most importantly, be ready for whatever crawls out from beneath the earth!
