If you love Root, this game is for you my friend. It’s fun, the art is beautiful, and it’s unique for all of you tired of the same repackaged mechanics.

A game to love, a game to hate
Let me jump the gun and open with: I love this game. It is a great story-developing engine with intrigue and politics that develop naturally for your table. It is a game that can be different every playthough not just because of the change in the cards and layout, but based on who is at the table and how they want to approach the game. That being said, the game also relies heavily on having the right group. If people are not into: kingmaking, intrigue, deals, leveraging, backstabbing, etc., then it will be a less enjoyable experience, in my opinion. But if everyone can be on the same page (even if that means some house rules) the game really shines. Not to mention the production value. This game is absolutely beautiful even without the premium upgrade. It is one of the prettiest games I own and it was worth every dollar just for that fact for me. This quickly became my favorite game and given some of the hangups in my gaming group, I have gone on to find online communities which are pretty good at getting games going. All in all, this game is a must have if you like Cole's desings. It will require a bit of work finding the right group, but if you can get a good community who enjoys the crunch, this game is wonderful.

A sweeping epic
Beautiful components, unlike anything else out there. A lot of rules but once you get past the learning curve, very rewarding experience.

Great Political Game
The game is great and the components are fantastic. There is a lot of back and forth but does not feel contentious. The one this though is I would not recommend 1-2 player version of the game, you really need at least 3.

Looking forward to seeing how the game changes after multiple plays. Love it so far.

Wonderful Experience
I love have the story is woven one game to the next. Artifacts from each game carry over to keep you remembering the previous plays. With multiple paths to victory you can be assured that you're never counted out. If you feel like you're on the bottom you can always team up with the Chancellor to get a slight edge and a friend/shield in the game.

First game was a tad slow
My gaming group was a bit distracted during the first session, but the game does a REALLY good job of rules explanations and a fully guided first turn so everyone gets a chance to understand all the mechanisms. Game two was amazing, as we became fully invested in our faction and the story we were beginning to weave. Game three is tonight, I am hyped!
