最高！可愛すぎる！待ってました！！ …猫野侯国の単独デザインのシャツとキャップも登場しますように！

With permission from Leder Games (@leder.games), I’m excited to announce that I will be hosting the official ROOT tournament in Japan—my all-time favorite board game! rootdake.com/rjc I’ll do everything I can to make it an unforgettable day for everyone who joins!

We're ready for Saturday at #PAXUnplugged! Swing by and see us, booth 2457.

It's been awhile since I've shared WIP stuff for anything I'm working on for Leder Games, so I'll aim to remedy that. Here are some of the early concepts for crew characters for TAKE. #takeboardgame #illustration

Drew and I have been overwhelmed by the support for the reprint campaign. If you've been looking for a copy of John Company or Molly House, this is your best chance to get a copy and the way that most directly supports us and our further efforts. www.kickstarter.com/projects/col...

These are ROOT art sleeves that aren’t sold in Japan — and a ROOT event flyer that was handed out at SPIEL ESSEN 2025! I couldn’t attend, but I received these wonderful souvenirs. I also really love the time spent sleeving cards.

Do you know Hanafuda, a traditional Japanese card game? 🎴 These cards are a special version with a Kirby design!

待ち時間はボドゲーマーには最高の遊び時間です

Happy Halloween Night! 🎃 My wife surprised me with these costumes — ROOT and Splatoon!

Hirelings & Landmarks is now available for Root Digital on mobile platforms! Players on iOS and Android devices can now bring hired help into their games of Woodland warfare, with Nintendo Switch to follow later! 🔗 news.direwolfdigital.com/hirelings-la... @leder.games

Released today! I’ve written a Japanese article about the new digital ROOT expansion, “Hirelings & Landmarks.” It’s super fun — I could play it forever. Thank you so much for this wonderful new content! @direwolfdigital.bsky.social note.com/root_bg_tk/n...

New wonders are coming to the Woodland in Root Digital! 🌳 Learn more about Landmarks in our newest preview for the Hirelings & Landmarks expansion, coming to Steam on Monday with mobile and Nintendo Switch to follow thereafter! 🔗 news.direwolfdigital.com/landmarks-in... @leder.games

#Today’sROOT Me Underground Duchy 30 Friend Lord of the Hundreds 15 Friend Keepers in Iron 10 I finally got to play ROOT with friends again! Check out this incredible hand — just too strong! With these three factions having high reach, the match turned into a series of intense battles!

Thanks to all the exciting announcements lately, my anticipation just keeps growing until the release day!😆

Nereus: Abyssal Blue Component Image! Players dispatch Nereus to the deep sea to gather resources. These resources can be delivered to semiconductor company projects or used for base facility construction. There are almost no language-dependent elements. #boardgames #ゲームマーケット2025秋

Just changed my icon!😆✨

The Japanese edition of ROOT is getting hard to find, and used copies are going for premium prices. Then I realized — I can just get the English edition! It’s a great way to learn English and stop worrying about future expansions being released in Japanese. I’ll start looking for one soon!

I absolutely have to buy the hoodie of my wife’s favorite faction — the Corvid Conspiracy! I’m going to get it for her as a gift!!!

One of the most popular Japanese board game YouTubers, Marman Asobi Channel youtube.com/@marmanasobi... told me they wanted to play ROOT, so I explained the rules and played together! Next time, they said they want to try a different faction. It was an amazing time! @leder.games

録画しておきたかったくらい、世紀の名勝負だった…！ #Today'sROOT 妻 森林連合 31 僕 猫野侯国 29 CPU 蜥蜴教団 26 CPU 甲鉄衛団 13 絶妙なバランスが保たれた激しい攻防戦！ 募兵所5つ製材所3つ建設して安定した試合だったのに、妻の助力カードで爆破されて逆転負け！ こういう勝負があるからやめられないよね！

この彩りの良さも可愛さも最高

Exciting new additions are making their way to the Woodland in the Hirelings & Landmarks expansion, coming soon to Root Digital! Discover new wonders in the Woodland and claim your throne with a little bit of hired help! Read More: 🔗 news.direwolfdigital.com/the-hireling... @leder.games

After coming back from camping in the forest, I returned to the forest once again. lol #Today’sROOT Wife: Eyrie Dynasties 30 Child: Vagabond 21 Me: Marquise de Cat 19 Lately, with just the three of us playing, a game wraps up in about 50 minutes—nice and easy to enjoy!

Usually I play board games about battles in the forest, but today I’ll spend a peaceful time in the woods instead. 🌳🎲

I love the legendary asymmetric board game ROOT so much that I created a Japanese fan site! 😆✨ tabletopforest.github.io/woodland/ I’m also working on a map of board game cafés in Japan where you can play ROOT!

#Today’sROOT My wife invited me to play ROOT! Me: Underground Duchy 30 Wife: Woodland Alliance 17 NPC: Marquise de Cat 12 NPC: Keepers in Iron 9 By the way, have you ever noticed how many rounds you usually play in ROOT? This time I counted—it was only 8 rounds. Surprisingly few!

The Exiles and Partisans Deck is one of the ROOT expansions that hasn’t been released in Japan, but it’s full of exciting and clever card effects! Thank you again for another wonderful video!

I tried buying a wall-mounted shelf.

More colored pencil wizarding

I forgot to show off the cake my wife prepared for me on my birthday a few years ago!

I also love kids’ games. Every winner of the Kinderspiel des Jahres is incredibly exciting and fun!

I started memberships! For which I am making custom Root Scenarios. First one being a Cider Rush. And is available now 🔥 (Yes I’m snuggling an apple token) New Memberships & Root Scenarios! youtu.be/uUPLKlJgAyc

Our 2year old son is growing fast, and he keeps abducting tons of components from the table, so it’s getting harder to play board games! (But it’s wonderful that he’s growing and showing interest in board games.) So ROOT has mostly become digital play for us.Lately, my wife has been way too strong!

The dogs from Spots and the penguins from Ice Cool are also designs I really love, and they perfectly match my taste.

The Woodland Alliance’s Sympathy tokens I lost last time are still missing… So this time I labeled and counted every bag of pieces. My handwriting is awful, so my wife rewrote them—teamwork! Now ROOT is ready to travel anywhere again!

【FORT】 A card game from Leder Games. The icons take a little effort to learn, but once you play, the heavy player interaction and unique deck-building make it incredibly fun. And Kyle Ferrin’s artwork? Just absolutely the best!!! Also, it made me crave pizza. So I ate some.

#Today’sROOT Hosted a ROOT at home with friends! Some were first-timers, others had played before but needed a refresher—so I gave my all on rules explanation! 😎🔥 Woodland Alliance 30 Vagabond 20 (me) Eyrie Dynasties 19 Marquise de Cat 17 Everyone picked it up fast. So much fun!

The bag-type pedalboard I use for band gigs turned out to fit ROOT perfectly! Maybe I’ll start using it as my board game bag from now on.

Ahoy von @ulible.bsky.social und @leder.games hat heute zu viert richtig viel Spaß gemacht. Ich hab mit meinen Schmugglern aufs richtige Pferd gesetzt und das Blauflossen-Geschwader noch übertrumpfen können. Wie es sich für ein Spiel auf hoher See gehört, wogt es hin und her. Herrlich! #Brettspiele

ICYMI ... 💸

#Today’sROOT Wife: Eyrie Dynasties – 30VP Me: Marquise de Cat – 24VP Using Hirelings The battle split North vs. South! A hedgehog thief on the path stole warriors from passersby, blocking my movement and slowing me down. The Eyrie soared in the late game for the win!

My guide to buying @leder.games ROOT products. www.tumblr.com/rootsequel/7...

#Today'sROOT Kid: Marquise de Cat – 30 Me: Underground Duchy – 29 Wife: Corvid Conspiracy – 28 A super close and intense match! Fierce fight for the keeps! Marquise hit 15 VP by Round 3 with crafting & building, while Corvid spread plots everywhere. No room for mistakes in the final round!

#Today’sROOT Wife: Corvid Conspiracy – 30 Kid: Vagabond – 12 Me: Woodland Alliance – 5 From the start, my wife kept stealing my cards, so I couldn’t trigger a revolt or build bases in time…! Overwhelmed by the exploding number of plot tokens, I had no way to fight back and lost miserably!

I finished translating ROOT’s new Homeland Expansion into Japanese. After the latest update, we did a family test play! Lilypad Diaspora managing their enclaves is fun! Knaves of the Deepwood changed a lot and became an incredibly fun faction—the best! Hope you try it!

I made an English version of my ROOT quiz for beginners! It’s great for reviewing the rules after learning them. I’m not very good at reading or writing English, so sorry if anything sounds weird.

Just seeing the actual game board and pieces in photos is so exciting!! The fact that I’ll get to play this game gives me the strength to keep going until next year!😆✨

We are SOLD OUT of our Root expansions and Ahoy is selling fast! Swing by booth 643 at Gen Con if you're hoping to take them home.
