Leder Games | Root: The Exiles and Partisans Deck

This made the gameplay more engaging and interactive. it engages the players to have an easier way to plan every move and improvement of their faction for this upgrade expansion

If you're looking into this deck for Root, you've probably played a game or two and have noticed that Root gets a little unbalanced. This game has a lot of necessary policing and kingmaking to ensure that nobody wins too easily, and the base deck for the game definitely contributes to that(I'm looking at you, Favor of the _____ cards). The Exiles and Partisans deck doesn't necessarily add anything new to the game, but it balances out a lot of issues with the main deck. First off, there are no more Favor cards that allow anyone with three crafting pieces of one suit to send everyone back to square one on a certain suit. What E&P has are a bunch of handy crafting cards that are better suited towards allowing players to catch up to the leader, or to prevent another player from getting too far ahead. Cards in this deck like Saboteurs or Corvid Planners allow for strong crafted items to be countered and the rules about moving and ruling a clearing to be ignored by anyone that crafts either of them respectfully. While a couple cards in the deck may not be the easiest to interpret like Coffin Makers or Eyrie Emigré, all in all the deck adds a lot of needed balance to Root, and has completely replaced the base deck in my group every time we play. A fantastic expansion to be played with any group of factions!

For about $10, this is a must have. It improves every game of Root as it balances out the crafting for some of the factions that have difficulty crafting. The crafted abilities are much more interesting, as well.

100% better. The items the same as the original deck, but the new actions are more interesting to play and more often useful.

Got this expansion as a gift for a friend of mine and played it with him. If you already like Root, then this is a no brainer.

It seems that this deck encourages crafting than the original deck, however I wouldn't say that its an absolutely required buy.

Sometimes adjusting cards can make or break a game. This is a good example of a small investment for a big reward. Get this upgrade pack!

Another expansion to increase replay ability on the best board game every created, love leder games and love root

I really like the game and bought this expansion to complete it, but I was disappointed when I opened the deck. The quality of the cards are fine, but one of them has a flaw as shown in the picture. At least it is just one card, but I wasn't expecting this.

Nice game, good quality

Its awesome! well worth getting this to addition on to your ROOT boardgame

Arrived in good time. Haven't used yet as a gift for a friend. Looks perfect
