Here's the most overlooked rule imo : No one rules an empty clearing. Thus, when being in a clearing where you DO NOT RULE cause of ennemy presence, you actually CAN NOT go into adjacent empty clearing, since you AS OF BEFORE THE MOVE do not rule either the starting clearing or destination clearing.

From experience, it actually allows for very interesting counterplays against say the Wooden Alliance when they're just about to score those last points and you would like to pin them on one area. Same with the lizards who can easily "block" ennemies on their garden, forcing a fight to escape.

Great video! One rule I often missed while playing as vagabond is that you have to move coin/teapot/bag to satchel after exhausting them. This makes a big difference because later in evening those items need to be counted toward item capacity as well, which might force you to remove some items.

That Vagabond has to exhaust any one item of his FOR EVERY SINGLE CARD THAT HE GIVES. Also - when you are Alied with a player - you can give aid him (exhaust an item and give him ONE card of a matching clreaing that you and him are there) and score 2 victory points. Which means that if you give them 3 cards, thats 6 points!

One thing we incorrectly assumed when playing our first two games, was that when the marquis or woodland lose a token that goes back on their player board, that they lose the points underneath it (as its covered up). We found out after that this doesn't happen and you keep all points. Only the Eyrie can lose points if the decree fails.

You don't need to do all three in a row though, so you could aid once then move to another clearing with lizards in it then aid again there cuz you have cards that match suit. TLDR; the next level on the relationship track = how many times the aid action needs to be done in one turn.

One small clarification, at 9:47 you said “My wood cannot pass through a region that I currently have rule of in order for me to get it to the place I want to build.” I’m pretty sure you meant “… a region that I DO NOT currently have rule of …” since you explain it correctly in your example with the clearing that has the Eyrie and Marquise. Just wanted to mention it in case someone got confused by what you said.

Here is useful reminder for the Woodland alliance. I was hopeless today because we misunderstood the Outrage effect. Outrage. Whenever another player removes a sympathy token or moves any warriors into a sympathetic clearing, they must add one card from their hand matching the affected clearing to the Supporters stack. If they have no matching cards (including no birds), they must show their hand to the Alliance, and then the Alliance draws a card from the deck and adds it to the Supporters stack. I hope i helped you guys i wish good games to you all.

You are fast becoming one of my favorite BG Channels; I've been a subscriber for quite a while and content like this keeps me coming back. We all play games wrong for some reason or another: misreading, weak rulebooks, assumed gameplay based on prior experience and/or just as complex game. Furthermore, mistakes early on are very habit forming and you end up doing it without a 2nd thought. I'm a really big fan of Leder Games and Mindclash Games, but let's be honest-those are some dense games: asymmetry, solo, COOP, competitive, expansions and variants like none other-heck even player count like in Root. What makes those publishers fit so well, IMHO, are that they are just top-notch-transcending and beautiful on so many levels: dynamic gameplay, theme, art, production, rulebooks, inserts and even community relations seem to strive to do everything right. Video tutorials of 1 round of play or a subject such as this are great tools to fill in the gaps for those with different learning styles. I commend EVERY company that pays to have their game taught by a BG channel, or-possibly-does it properly themselves-and not just originally, as preview to solicited backers, in the case of crowdfunded games, but also upon release-they can skip the dozen superfluous-redundant-miniatures or expansions in exchange for teaching videos. So yeah-rock on. Keep up these kinds of teaching videos that focus on your common mistakes and, hopefully, more videos that helps recognize the biggest hurdle in the board game industry, in terms of its reach to bring more consumers in the hobby, has always been the difficult situation of learning, teaching and helping new people into the hobby. Cheers!

To enforce the ambush pause, our house rule is that if you just roll dice without pausing or asking for ambush, the defender still may play the ambush card and then choose to have you re-roll the dice or not. That little extra ensures that EVERYONE pauses or asks before rolling.

Some other things with the vagbond i've seen some confusion over is that if your 'track' items are exhausted (coins, bags, tea) they have to be moved into your satchel AND their effect is lost. Also you can refresh items while they are damaged, and a day in the woods will repair AND refresh all items.

So my focus now is teaching and making play throughs with the clockwork expansion, and something I’ve habitually missed was remembering the effects of the various trait cards for the factions (I usually play with one per clockwork). I’ve found that if I place the cards somewhere on the robot’s board (or the relevant place on the map, like by the scoring tracker) where the trait takes place or modifies something, I have a fighting chance at remembering.

It’s actually only when there is “no” sympathy. “Choose Clearing. An unsympathetic clearing adjacent to a sympathetic clearing. If there are no sympathetic clearings, you may choose any clearing.” Great video, just subscribed today and am scrolling through your content.

Thought I could only send wood to an adjacent clearing, so I had sawmills all over the place... Then I kept making plans on where to build but didn't rule the clearings in between.

Oh! A couple other things about the woodland alliance that are important to note: 1) martial law doesn't apply to Revolt. If an opponent stacks a clearing with meeps *after* you have sympathy there, there is no need to play an extra supporter card to cause a revolt. It's always just two. That screwed over the Birds in our previous play, cuz he was sitting there smugly thinking the Alliance wouldn't have enough supporters to revolt in a corner where he'd placed...way too many of his people. That hurt to watch 2) also martial law is *just* the one extra card, no matter how many enemies at or above 3 are in the clearing. Our game actually went a round longer than it had to because it was assumed the Alliance needed to stack matching supporters *per each* extra enemy meeple in a clearing at or above 3. Somehow, the Alliance managed to cash out seven(!) fox supporters plus a wild to match the Cats' legion, which seemed like a pretty epic way to end the game until we realized the action was way more trivial than that :P

Re: Ambush cards, I started always checking for an Ambush as part of declaring my attack: I pick up the dice, indicate the clearing I'm attacking, and say to the player I'm targeting, "I'm attacking here. Are you gonna ambush me?" That way there's no chance of me forgetting lol. I feel like if you just "pause" and wait for them without saying anything, it's easier to forget or move too fast.

Biggest rule I tend to forget or see folk miss, is when you have an exhausted item as a vagabond (coins, tea, or bag) it goes into your satchel. This also means that you don't get the benefit of it.

When I play vagabond and want to produce a card worth 2 rabbit, I have to exhaust 2 hammers or just 1 hammer only if I have two?

Great content! Root is one of my favorite owned game. It oozes theme. It's definitely easy to miss some of the multiple rules. But this is one of the reason I also love that game. Reading the law of root is just fun, almost as fun as playing!

Rule of Rule is incredibly important for movement. A lot of players miss it, even veterans. Basically, you can get caught behind enemy lines and unable to leave, if you're not careful.

I think the best way of learning this game is by doing a demo game with only marquie and eyrie and then once you learn those to you ad another faction to learn and then you keep playing games switching out that third faction. This was the way I learned the entire game and all its expansions on my own

In the instance where the Vagabond needs to execute multiple Aid actions to move up the last two spots on the relationship track, can he move between Aid actions. For example, the Vagabond needs to move one more level to become Allied with the Marquise -- can he give the Marquise one matching card in a mouse clearing, then move to a Fox clearing and give two more matching cards to move to the allied position on the track. Or do all cards need to be transferred in one set of actions before doing any other actions.

A cool thing that you can do to eliminate the ambush pause is have it as etiquette that the defending player rolls. Hey I'm going to attack here, can you roll for me? Then they can decide whether they want to do anything before rolling, and at a psychological level it also makes the game feel a bit less aggressive.
@folx2733
@folx2733 3 ай бұрын
You could also just ask if they want/can play an ambush card. I don't get the psychological subterfuge thing, I think new players etc SHOULD be made aware that it's an aggressive war game despite the cute animals

One thing we got wrong for a while (not sure how common this problem is) is that the Eyrie must play their decree left to right, but NOT NECESSARILY up to down. We thought it was both up to down, and left to right.

Just a note about pronunciation: it’s “markeezz” not “markee” when referring to the cat. A marquise is the female version of a marquis, therefore the cat is a female. Just a little fyi from a French speaker. 😁

Liked your video, thanks! Root has so many special cases. For example Martial Law: During a game I was really wondering whether or not warriors from different factions add up to the count of three (it doesn't, the three warriors should be of one faction). I recently bought the expansions of Root. Will you also be creating a video for the factions in the future?

Thanks for the video, it's important to pay the tax to the WA to the supporters not to the hand i forgot this many times...for the Riverfolk expansion I propose the rule that allows lizards to sacrifice a warrior to become an acolyte ... now it is possible to sacrifice one from the reserve, this is something I discovered recently in the last text of the rules.

My only mistake in your video was the wood chain. All the other clarifications were learned mostly playing some games in the app. Just yesterday I couldnt build with the cat and didnt know why till now. Tks. In the field hospital you need to specify that is one card for all the meeples you lost from a single battle action.

Question: for woodland alliance marshall law. If there's 1 bird, 1 cat and 1 vagabond, does count as 3 warriors of another player for marshall law to get activated? Or for 2 birds and 1 cat? Or does all 3 warriors need to be from the same faction since its said 'another player' and not 'other players' ?

For that very first example, even it were a faction other than the birds that tied for rule, you wouldn't be able to move there. Ties aren't "both have rule", they are "neither have rule". As far as I know, there is no situation where you need to check any faction specific considerations other than your own when calculating whether you have rule. If you have plurality or your faction has a different rule condition, you have rule. Thats it.
