Product Description

Root: Homeland Hirelings Pack expands your Root games with three new hirelings that add variety, tension and fresh tactical choices to the Woodland.

Hirelings can be added to Root games at any player count. In games with fewer players, they add new pieces to the map and create more competition, helping the Woodland feel more active and dynamic. In games with more players, some hireling cards can flip to reveal special abilities, opening up new strategic options and surprising combinations.

In the Homeland Hirelings Pack, three new hirelings enter the fray: the River Roamers, Sunny Advocates and the neutral Prosperous Farmers. Each comes with a double-sided tarot card and new meeples, bringing even more variety and personality to your games of Root.

Whether you want to make lower-player games more lively or simply enjoy discovering new interactions and strategies, the Homeland Hirelings Pack is a compact and flexible way to refresh your Woodland battles.
