Hey! I was trying to remember how I got into Root about a year ago, and I realized it was thanks to you. I am so grateful that you called Root your favorite game, because it is now mine too. I am all in! I'm slowly but surely introducing Root to my friends, and my nephew and niece are excited to learn how to play one day.
If the given vagabond isn't in play, we sometimes replace a faction meeple with the vagabond meeple matching thr animal (badgers -arbiter, cats - scoundrel, eyrie-adventurer) to see if we can invent a backstory for that vagabond, and if the meeple dies, too bad, it gets replaced by a regular faction meeple in the following recruit
Cheers for the Songs for the Woodland shoutout! Proud of everyone’s contributions on those. Appreciated. Great vid, I’m always looking to make a Root night perfect and this video gives me some new ideas.
I love the little bits of roleplay in boardgames it adds sooo much more than to just play the game there was a game of forbidden desert I played one day and we all roleplayed are DND characters in game and one of are friends drew a pic of the group as DND characters in the forbidden desert setting it was great and so much fun!
I also like to add a 3rd set of corvid plots (conspiracies) - thankfully the supplied replacements help with that! Also, a 3d printed Marquise Keep is a must 😸
Congrats on the baby! I struggle to get it to the table. I only have one friend interested in playing with me. I do play a little on the app. If only I could train a family of raccoons to play, that would also be very immersive.
@@LordoftheBoard yes, I think your content is very accurate and it definitely helped me. I definitely love your root ranking video. I was a little disappointed that Corvid was at the bottom, but I still think it was very accurate.❤️
Forgetting some rules definitely make it interesting but not necessarily more fun. For example, we got to remove a random card when Lizard's gardens are removed. That made lizards very much more powerful
This is great and all, but I think I speak for myself when I say that I would love for you to make a "how to make a baby" guide. Appreciate the help daddy board lord.
Only started playing this game recently (digital) and was thrilled to find your channel. Can you explain the section where you talk about the Vagabond taking out 3 warriors and 2 tokens in a hostile clearing? I understand every other faction would get two points (0 for taking out the warriors, 1 for each token) but you say the Vagabond would get 7 points - is this correct? I only understand it to be 5 points (1 for each warrior, 1 for each token). Thanks!
Yeah it’s under the Infamy section 9.2.91.a Infamy. Score one extra victory point for each piece of a Hostile faction you remove in battle during your turn, except the warrior that made the faction Hostile. (Add this to points scored for enemy buildings and tokens.) The very end bit means you get 2 for buildings and tokens! Pretty wild! Thanks so much for watching and hope you enjoy this game as much as I do.
Almost everyone can agree with the Despot Infamy. But what do you guys think about Corvids getting 3 of each plot token instead of standard 2? This rule was used during last Winter Tournament. Any thoughts about it?
Thanks for all your effort and recommendations. How many books about root rpg exist? I think root needs an advance setup diferent for 2-3-4-5 players. At least 3 players.
Congrats fam. Graduated from board game dad to actual dad.
Omg its him
Just know that you are who I call Father
@@LordoftheBoard I think of myself more like that one uncle with all the dubious advice.
I’d love if you did a video covering all the house rules you have used or ones that you have encountered that you liked!
This is a good idea!!

Awe I’m so glad I could help you find my fav game :)
3d printed clearing markers are good. they make the clearing suits stand out much more and they have really nice table presence.

Excellent I wanted to instantly improve my root game 🎉
Thank you for watching and hope it helped 🫡🔥

Thank you so much for watching :) and glad to introduce some potentially new ideas!
Best wishes Sam! Cheers to you and your growing family! 🎉
Thank you very much Ben! ❤️

This is a great idea! 💡 anything that promotes getting into character I dig.

Firstly, congratulations! Secondly, I agree that music or ambiance will improve most game nights. For games that are longer than a half hour, imo.
congrats on that great change in your life! Everything for family :D
Thank you!! 😊
LordyBoardy has an esquire. Also, another way to support the channel you never mentioned was to not skip those ads...FOR LORDS SAKE! (Literally)
This was the fun video I just started watching your channel❤
Awh thank you for watching :) and hope you enjoy the rest of the content

Thank you for all the content, couldn't have played this game without you.
Awh so happy to hear this! Appreciate this

If you would like I can send that file over to you personally. But until then! Please feel free to join my LOTB only fans.. “under the table” 🔥
Congrats on the baby!
Thank you so much much :)
Now you need to put a tutorial on how to teach root to babies and little kids!!! Congrats man 🎉🎉🎉
Great idea! I’ve actually been designing a “my little Root” called Twig, as a way to prep my own children into Root. So Mabye that will fly!

Thank you so much :)
Congratz!
I play Tooth and Tail ost. I know its setting(based on the late Tzardom of Russia) is different from Root, but idc because Austin Wintory rocks.
Tooth and Tail rocks! Haven’t thought to do the soundtrack! Thank you for this
Congratulations!
Thank you!
a baby! congratz brother!
Yes!!! Thank you so much. Very excited.
Hey! Could you review Oogie Boogie in Disney Villainous?
HONEY COME HERE, he's dropping new root content 👀👀
Hahahaha. And more to come next week! 👀

I think root needs an advance setup diferent for 2-3-4-5 players. At least 3 players.
There are 2 books and some smaller side ones that contain towns you can explore.
The 2 main books cover all the factions except badgers and rats :)
Congrats!!!
Let's get a LOTB lofi for ambience. I'd play to that.
Actually that may be coming sooner than you think… 👀
@@LordoftheBoard dropping the beat at the end of this vid, the background music in the faction order vid... I'm hearing it! I'm digging it! Godspeed 😄
It doesn't seem like Songs for the Woodland is on Apple Music.
Sad :( I wonder if I can find it somewhere other than Spotify!
I've found it on youtube
I usually play barbie girl and other weird karaoke music to sing along to distract the other players
Beautiful. That is a way to spice up game nights for sure
