Root

You control asymmetrical factions competing for control of a woodland. Every player has completely different rules, abilities, and ways to score points. One person plays an expanding empire, another is a rebellion, and someone else is a lone adventurer. You have to understand how the other factions work so you can stop them from winning. It looks cute but the gameplay is actually cutthroat and highly aggressive. It takes a dedicated group to learn and appreciate the different dynamics.
