Best expansion yet!
Of the three Root expansions currently out this is my favorite. While the Corvid faction, from the Underworld expansion, may be my favorite both the Rats and the Badgers offer awesome new play experiences. And while the new boards in the Underworld expansion add a new type of variety the addition of the hirelings in the Marauders box really helps the game work even better at all player counts and adds variability of its own. If you enjoy Root and want something more I highly recommend this expansion. Just make sure that, if you are a newer player, you wait to try the badgers, The Keepers in Iron, until you feel more confident in playing the more complex factions!

just don't let those rats get out of hand early
The Lord of the Hundreds might, certainly, be one of my favorite factions to play; but, it will never be one of my favorite factions to play against. These rats just swarm! And, unless you get on them fast, they're likely to take and hold an early lead. I would only allow the Hundreds to be played in a multi-player game in which other players can form temporary alliances to keep the rats in check. The Keepers in Iron faction is a nice addition all around. These badgers have their own agenda can play it out in cleverly unusual ways. The hirelings to help balance things out in two-player games is a welcome addition.

Every Root fan needs it
I've bought every Root expansion and, if I had one minor complaint, it would be the shortage of military factions, limiting faction choices especially at lower player counts. This expansion, by adding 2 new military factions, restores the balance.
