THANK YOU ALL 🎉 GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. And a WINNER has been chosen. Thank you again for celebrating with me! Can’t wait for what I have in store for you coming up

Congrats on 20k! And what a great way to give back to the community!

My favorite faction is the Marquise de Cat because of how tight of a ship you have to run. There’s very little room for error as you attempt to squeeze every last drop of efficiency that you can out of your three actions per turn. For such a simple set of actions there’s a surprising amount of nuance and depth to their strategy that I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of (Overwork I especially want to explore more). Often times you need to talk others into helping you police threats at the table, which is a fun challenge, and also makes those swings you do take yourself feel even better when they connect. Plus, they’re great at checking the nuisance that is your favorite WA😉

Hi Sam, I've been sharing your love for Root for more than a year now and enjoying your videos since. I fell in love with the thing at a friends house and been playing ever since. Unfortunately I only own the digital version!

My favourite faction is undoubtedly the Woodland Alliance; I enjoy that powerful but risky way of scoring points. Being the ''underdog'' requires patience, strategy, and resilience. There is only one best time to strike back! But I think what makes me enjoy WA that much is the theme: Night operations! There is a certain Robin Hood element to them that makes the WA unique to me (partly because the fox supporters remind me of the Disney Robin Hood movie which I spammed when I was a kid haha) Anyway!

Thank you for this giveaway, appreciate the effort you put in these videos!

Patiently but anxiously waiting for those Villainous Videos; plus the vids for the next Star Wars characters

Congrats on hitting 20k! I too have only played this game digitally. My favourite faction always seems to be the one that I have played most recently. So right now, it's the Corvid Conspiracy. In a few weeks it will likely be the Underground Dutchy. Who knows? The best part of this game is that ALL of the factions are fun. If you're ever up for collaborating, I'd love to chat with you and do something together.

Thanks for updating again! My favorite faction is badger, I love the sudoku-ish puzzle solving mechanism. It is so rewarding to win with badger after some brain burning to jump from 14 to 30. They have the strongest recruit in game, can encamp and reborn if we spread out, even after being hit. And Sam's favorite faction is Woodland Alliance, with your favorite green color, theme for rebellion, robinhood like, it is a faction that made for you ;)

Sam is back!! Great to see you and glad to hear you’re re-examining your time breakdown. 20k followers is incredible, but I can only imagine the level of expectation (whether internal or external) ramps up as that number does… be kind to yourself and do what you need. There’s a good reason that number’s so high, and it’s not because of quantity or cadence, it’s all about quality and character. Many congrats, man. ❤️💛🧡💙

[talzumon]

Last I checked you really enjoyed the Lizards but my favorite is Lord of the Hundreds!

Also I have followed you forever! I'm so happy to see how far you have come with the channel, I have sent your videos to all of my friends! This has been great because we are all super into Root now! They will love to enter this give away as well. Thanks Sam!

Congrats for reachign 20k! My favourite factions is the Marquise, I love how it introduces a more classic resource management mechanic into the game, having little "wood" tokens that you can use to build structures makes the whole board feel so thematically coherent and vivid (and, occasionally, very rewarding too). Also I think that of all the "military" factions the cats are the more adapt in the act of involving the other players to think tactically about unit positioning on the board. Never won with them not even once, but I can't think of any other faction so capable of establishing recognizible and stimulating patterns of interactions with everyone else. I mean every faction gives its own particular flavour to the process of beating up the cats (as the cats have their ways of self defense).

Let's be honest... a Top 10 of 2022 is more meaningful in June than it is in January. 😂

[arnavdudi]

Missing your videos. Glad you are back and I'm super excited for Root rpg videos. Love to see how the woodland is influenced by different factions as we only see a little side of the story in board game.

Hiya! I started watching your channel for the Villainous content and you got me interested in Root, but I was never able to buy the game. However, I have been able to play some games in the Board Game Club at my college and it has been really fun, I always try to play it whenever someone decides to bring it. I think so far my favorite faction has been the Riverfolk Company. Not only are they extremely fun to play, they're just so cute :) Still haven't won a game yet, but I've been having fun trying all the factions.

Would love to see more Root and Villainous content in the future.
Congrats on 20K Woodland Allies!

[BlockMist]

I really enjoy the play style of the Riverfolk company. The table talk required to win the game. Trying to subtely get players to buy your services by making them think it'll benifit them when at the end of the day you'll end up using the funds they gave you to take them down. It's a very interesting play style. Even though all factions do have an interesting play style.

The asymetric style of Root is an amazing system for boardgames. I never had really got into boardgames prior to root and I played it once and was hooked. The first game I ever played was as the vagabond, then I played as the Marquise de Cat. Then played the eyrie Dynasty. But by far the Riverfolk company has some of the best play style and table talk opportunities.

Also congrats on achiving the 20k milestone. I love watching your videos, especially the ones on Root.

[directordan]

Lizard cult is my favourite which I know is controversial. I just love the thematic ability to convert players pieces over the cult and to adapt others’ buildings into your gardens. I can picture it so clearly! Not to mention how wonderfully derpy they look.

[sjov]

Congratulations on reaching 20k! I subscribed the moment I started playing Disney Villainous myself and found great inspiration from your how-to guides on each villain.

My favorite faction in Root has to be the Vagabond. I love its unique play style and the ability to interact with the other factions. It adds to the strategic decision-making in each game and offers different paths to victory. It's also great that you have the chance to either help or disrupt the plans of other factions, which creates a cool and mischievous playstyle. As the Vagabond, you become a mischievous presence, and the other players have to be careful of what you might do.

Keep up the good work!

Congrats on 20k subs! I only found your channel a few months ago when I first discovered Root with my friends. Your Root digital games persuaded me to get the digital version along with the expansions. Though I know you don’t like it very much, I love playing the Vagabond. It’s fun to not have to deal with the massive war in the woodland, but interact with all of the factions. I also really like the concept of allying with another player to win together. My favorite faction thematically is the Keepers in Iron. I think the knightly order of badgers that don’t care for who rules the Woodland, but want the relics in the region is really fun to play. Congrats again on 20k!!

[RambunctiousMouse]

I was actually wondering where you went! Nice to see you back again

Edit: I'm up for a top 10 2022, I don't think it's too late

Sadly, Ive never played Root 😭 but I really want to! Just in concept alone, my favorite faction is the Riverfolk -- I love the idea of dealing in all sides and building your strength with smart business. It seems like a fun challenge to read the board just right to be able to sell to the right person and deal your cards right!

[monkeypilot]

I really liked the effort you put into your last video about the Duchy. It was highly informative but yet very entertaining. That being said, I also enjoyed your perhaps a little easier to produce digital playthroughs of Root. I'd love it if you would continue to do that on a somewhat regular basis if you enjoy making them.


As for my favorite faction, it would have to be the Woodland Alliance. I really like the underdog theme and it feels good to make others pay when they want to move through your clearings, and guerrilla warfare is such a great trait that really fits them.

[yali]

Congratulations on reaching 20k! Maintaining a channel is tough, and I'm excited for your next video.

I've been watching your videos for two years now since I was searching for Root-related content. I purchased Root Digital and have been thoroughly enjoying it!

My favorite faction is the Woodland Alliance because they are easy to learn, disrupt others' actions, and, most importantly, have the ability to quickly gain VP in the late game!

[ijkcarlo]

The Vagabond is my favorite, specifically the Tinker! Especially when you get swords, tea or generally any item as craft cards in your starting hand. I just love subtly hoarding & collecting a lot of items & points at the start of the game, then suddenly causing havoc, being hostile to all factions towards the end to seal the victory 😜 Thanks again for doing this giveaway! I've only had the 2017 copy of Root and barely had anyone to play with since then, I've taught it to a bunch of family and friends and there's really nothing like it, I can go on and on repeating the instructions as long as I have someone to play with 🤣 just so happy to stumble upon your channel a few moments back. It really warms my heart to find someone who also shares the same enthusiasm (and more) as l have had for the game in all these years! Congrats on a well-deserved 20k & keep up the great work! I can't wait to watch your next videos 😊
