## Description
Ever felt like your Root experience needed a little something extra? The Vagabond Pack is exactly that: a small but potent upgrade for those who love playing as the forest's lone wanderer. If you're tired of using the same character and want new ways to cause chaos (or bring peace) to the board, this pack is the way to go.

The content is straightforward. First, you get seven custom Vagabond meeples, which is great for visually distinguishing who is who at the table and adding a bit of flair. But the real magic lies in the three new character cards: the Harrier, the Ronin, and the Adventurer. Each of them brings a different vibe to the Vagabond's gameplay, altering how you interact with other factions, how you acquire items, and how you score points.

Instead of just following the standard path, these new characters allow you to explore different survival and influence strategies. Do you want to be a wandering warrior, a curious explorer, or someone who lives off looting? Now you can. Root's core dynamic remains that intense struggle for territory and influence, but with these new options, the game's variability increases significantly. It's the perfect expansion for those who have mastered the basics and want to deepen their experience without needing a giant box of new rules. It's easy to implement, but it completely changes the feel of playing the Vagabond, making the solitary journey much richer and more strategic.
