Please! Can you make a video like this for the clockwork expansion? The way you explain things is perfect for my brain!

Cool Root playlist. Can u do maybe some videos vor the clockwork fractions how to play them? Plx 😊

[pedrofanti]

I have already been playing Root and your videos explain it very well. Thanks for it, it makes it so much easier introducing new players to a specific faction.

I saw a couple of game understanding videos & honestly all were too tricky to understand before I landed up on this one & honestly now I have a good understanding of the basic play.

Hopefuly I would get hold of the factions too with the help of your video on the them.

Such a gd video for my to learn the game. Explain the rules very clearly. Thank you for your effort:)

Hey Tom, a new expansion for this game will be coming out next year with 2 new factions, and to me you're better at explaining how each faction works than most, so when the new expansion releases will you be covering it?

Great videos, very informative. Is it possible to play a 3-man game with river folk, corvid and duchy? or with any mix of factions as long as you set up in the right order??

[hellyeahmothafocka]

2 questions: do the extra tokens (like wood) need a hit to be removed. And second, does the defender destroy oposing buildings when they do exess damage on the attacker?

[markmyewords]

Thank you for the video. Very informative and helped me understand the basics. Quick question: When a building is destroyed, does it go back to the faction board and cover the previously open slot? And then be able to gain VP again if they build the same building?

Rubbing it in with your pimped out components and storage...nice!
