Game night · Modern strategy

Find people to play Root.

An asymmetric strategy game of woodland factions, each with its own way to win. Deep and rewarding, and much easier with someone to teach it.

How a Root table comes together

  1. Tick Root in the app

    Choose Teach me, Casual or Serious.

  2. Sign up for game night

    Choose game night on your area's weekly group night. Sign-ups close two days before.

  3. Get your table

    2 to 4 people, usually 4. Everyone at it fits everyone else as a friend match, and plays at a similar level.

  4. Pick the place and play

    Your table votes on where to play, and the app plans the rest. No chat.
