Root: Riverfolk Hirelings Pack

About this expansion

Root: Riverfolk Hirelings Pack adds six new hirelings to Root for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Designed to be useful at every player count, this pack makes the Woodland wilder with fresh ways to shape the game.

With fewer players, hirelings add new pieces to the map. These extra forces ramp up the tension and create more tactical options as you plan your next move. The result is a more active Woodland, even when fewer players are at the table.

With more players, some hireling cards flip over to reveal new special abilities to gain. These abilities let you explore unique and powerful strategies while giving larger games another way to develop.

The pack contains six new hirelings, grouped into three pairs:

• Riverfolk Flotilla and Otter Divers
• Warm Sun Prophets and Lizard Envoys
• Highway Bandits and Bandit Gangs

Hirelings can be added to games at any player count, making the pack flexible across different group sizes. Whether you want additional pieces on the map or new abilities to gain, the Riverfolk Hirelings Pack offers more tactical possibilities to discover.

For players looking to make Root more tense with fewer participants or more strategically varied with a full group, Root: Riverfolk Hirelings Pack brings six distinct ways to change how the Woodland unfolds.
