I got it printed. It’s way too cute! Thank you so much for preparing something so wonderful!

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

This was my second time playing Aeon’s End—I had so much fun the first time when a friend let me try it. And this time, I managed to defeat a Nemesis for the first time! Games you always hear are popular really are that fun after all!

My 3-year-old son loves the Marquise de Cat plush so much that he even wants to take it with him on trips!

I visited a board game café called Café NOW! I got to try a custom ROOT map made by the owner for the first time. It was an amazing experience playing in such a rich and immersive world!

Since the start of 2026, my total number of ROOT plays—digital and physical combined—has passed 100. I started using an app called BG Stats this year, and I’m really enjoying tracking my results.

I have an important announcement. Kyle and I are going to be leaving Leder Games to start a new venture. It has been an honor to spend the past eight years working with them. We wish them all the best of luck, and cannot wait to show you what we are working on next. ledergames.com/blogs/news/a...

My deepest gratitude to the best game designer and illustrator for the incredible time they spent with the best game publisher. I truly believe both companies will continue to create even more amazing games, and I’ll be cheering them on with everything I’ve got!

Coming this Tuesday, January 13th at 2PM CDT: a wander through the Root Homeland Expansion MPC (Mass Produced Copy) with Josh! (Assisted by Matt with some sick video editing.) Find it on our YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/@LederGamesM...

My favorite smartwatch screen that keeps me motivated and energized every day!

Happy New Year!!!!! I’ll be playing lots of board games again this year! Let’s have fun together!

My final board game time of the year. Such an amazing time today! See you next year, and let’s keep playing together. I’d love to connect with board gamers all over the world.

X treats illustrators far too poorly. I can’t draw myself, but I truly love looking at art, so this makes me really sad. For now, I might be perfectly happy staying on Bluesky.

I’ve been misunderstanding the rules this whole time!!! In ROOT, I thought the Riverfolk Company’s service “Mercenaries” lasted for the entire turn… but it turns out it’s only during the Daylight and Evening phases…! I really need to read the rulebook more carefully. Lesson learned.

New Root Merch on the Leder Webstore!! Love to see it in time for the Holidays @leder.games youtu.be/9VlS77tP5no?...

#Today’sROOT Wife – Eyrie: 30 Me – Corvid: 19 Child – Marquise: 9 I was sure I had it, but my wife perfectly cleared my plots. Meanwhile my son quietly set up a big swing—one more turn and he might’ve flipped the game. And I guess my bluffing is still written all over my face.

Wait… what? The score I’d been working so hard to build up — it was 1433 — suddenly dropped a lot… What happened? This is depressing.

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!

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...

#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

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!
