Description

Need allies? Here they are, fiery and fierce. Discover unique strategies and make the Woodland wilder by adding hirelings. Best with fewer players, great with more!

Hirelings can be added to games at any player count. With fewer players, the hirelings add new pieces to the map, ramping up the tension and giving you more tactical options. With more players, some hireling cards will flip over to reveal new special abilities to gain, letting you explore unique and powerful strategies.

This is an expansion. A copy of Root the board game is required to play.

Marauder Hirelings Pack

  • Sunward Expedition / Mole Artisans - Strike from the deep with the Sunward Expedition or preserve your crafts with Mole Artisans.
  • Furious Protector / Stoic Protector - Cut down your foes with the Furious Protector or bring peace through strength with the Stoic Protector.
  • Corvid Spies / Raven Sentinels - Steal secrets and friends with Corvid Spies or defend your assets with Raven Sentinels.

More Meeples!

The hirelings lend their services to players and can change their allegiance throughout the game as conflict drags on.

A New Way to Play!

Discover unique strategies and make the Woodland wilder by adding hirelings!

Expansions Buyers Guide

The Root base game is a stand-alone experience that plays 2-4 players. With it, you’ll be able to learn the fundamental concepts around Root and play different factions that hit all varieties of asymmetric complexity: low, moderate, and high. We highly recommend starting with the Root base game first, and expanding on your game after your first play.
