Y’all acting like we aren’t on the verge of bats & frogs getting added to ROOT. So stoked to FINALLY checkout Homeland here soon, especially since interviewing designer Joshua Yearsley about it over a year and a half ago. @leder.games 🦇 🐸 youtu.be/IZ98nZ61u4k

Can cats play board games? Yes, if the game is as good as Root by @leder.games. #comics #webcomics #art #digitalart

Just played the new Homeland expansion for Root (by @colewehrle.bsky.social & Joshua Yearsely for @leder.games)!

There's a piratical seagull in @magpiegames.bsky.social ROOT RPG and I was wondering what they'd look like in my version of the style. (ROOT thanks to @leder.games and art @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social )

It’s fun to be a knave @leder.games

The new @leder.games Root expansion came in the mail. Loving the clever mechanics these new factions introduce to the game!

Coming soon to a Leder social account near you: the 2026 Meeple Madness, Vagabond edition! Voting begins on Thursday, April 2nd. Get your blank bracket here: bit.ly/MMVagabonds2...

Big fan of the art style~ Root: The Homeland Expansion is on its way! From @leder.games

ROOT JAPAN CHAMPIONSHIP 2026 has concluded! A magical time for everyone. My heart is so full. It was an absolute honor to host this incredible game in Japan. I’d love to do it all over again! Thank you, @leder.games (P.S. Unlike the Japanese habit of hiding faces in photos, mine is out there! 😂)

For those who observe, don't forget to set your clocks AHEAD one hour before bed tonight! Time to #SpringForward!

Finally finished the fan animation for ROOT by @leder.games ive been working on for fun! ROOT is easily one of my favourite board games and its a dream of mine to be part of an animated series for it. Also a good excuse to learn how to usr @procreate.com dreams! Hope you guys dig it :)

Unlike how it may appear, I am not only playing wargames :) There are some cool, more general boardgames I am awaiting this year - below some of my types. Enjoy! theboardgameschronicle.com/2026/02/08/m...

Rowdy game of Root tonight, still one of the all time greats. It’s always tough to teach friends new factions when you know the game, but fortunately Steve and Natalie are amazing sports to deal with the overhead and deal with my Lord of the Hundreds bullshit. @leder.games

The studio is closed today in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On this National Day of Service we encourage everyone to volunteer with community organizations near you. We spent a couple hours supporting Second Harvest Heartland and had a great time!

Got to discuss the big news regarding @leder.games and @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social ! A really amazing opportunity for me to have 2 companies bringing about my favorite type of games. My Favorite Board Game Company is Changing ... youtu.be/jaqN0_8VUg4

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.

Congrats to Cole and Kyle on their new adventure! We know Oath and Arcs are going to be well taken care of. Excited for what's next. 💖

ROOT von @leder.games und @ulible.bsky.social gehört zu meinen alltime Favourites. Mit viel Diskussion und Verhandlung, Gejammer und Aufwiegelung am Tisch geht es hoch her im Waldlandreich. Immer wieder extrem konfrontativ, spannend, einfach toll. #Brettspiele #wargames #boardgames #ROOT

Finally got a chance to play Root again this year 😆 Still my favorite games of all time. Played it twice today, 2P but with Hirelings. I hope the new expansion will be here soon @leder.games #boardgames #Root #boardgamesky
