Some rule corrections!

1. With the first build order (build, overwork, and then build again) you can’t build 2 recruits as not enough wood would be available. Instead build a workshop if you have some of the needed Rabbit Cards.

2. You cannot move along the rivers without the help of the otters from the riverfolk expansion.

Awesome way of explaining things! You actually take the time to incorporate little clips that exemplify what your describing, rather than just having a camera recording from above and doing an edit-less monologue, which is what most board game YouTubers do, I really liked your content, you got a sub, keep the great work! And thanks 👍

Hi I recently taught my 6 and 7 year old siblings ROOT and I showed them your videos, but sadly you stoped posting ROOT videos. Could you please post new ones with the marauders expansion, different decks and combinations? Love what you did sad you stopped ❤

Digital version of Root now out on Steam.

Love your style. Thanks for the great tips. I just got into this game, and it's such a blast!

Hey great video! Thank you Sam.
I just got ROOT a couple of days ago and I'm preparing myself with videos like these.
Cheers!

Just recently purchased Root, all the expansions (yes and some extras), and also the digital app. I'm loving your videos. It's really helping me understand how to play the game better. I subbbbed. Keep up the wonderful videos my fellow Smith! :)

[Janisurai]

None of my friends or I can play well with the cats, so this is appreciated

[bobdeschutter]

These videos should be in the ios app. Really excellent work, Sam!

[TheAgamemnon]

Eh, I wish I had watched this instead of going into a game of root blind. I did none of these things, and I had a bad time with the cats.

[liampeterson]

I love this game! the eyrie dynasties strategy will be useful

[sharingmatters]

Great tips - I will try it out today :)

[MrAaDdRr]

Does the keep provide any perks besides preventing opponents from building in that clearing? Would've been nice if they also add hits when defending

[andymacias]

Hey I love all your videos especially your villainous guides and I would love to see you tackle a new Board game that is a mix of villainous, power rangers heroes of the grid and King of Tokyo the game is GODZILLA TOKYO CLASH please review it or do some guides on how to play as the different Kiaju (monsters) that would be awesome

How could you Build 2 Recruiters in the first turn? You start with 1 Wood and with the Overwork, you gain 1 extra Wood and the second recruiter would cost you 2 Wood, so it's not really possible to build 2 Recruiters on your first turn.

There were also some rules mistakes, as pointed out by someone else.
I would suggest, that if you are going to make more strategy guides, it might be worth it to double check the rules, otherwise people might get suspicious of your understanding of the game and that could lose you a new potential viewer. Seeing incorrect moves could also be confusing to newer players just trying to learn the game.

I hope you take this as constructive feedback and not as an attack. Otherwise a very nice quality video. :) This seems like a promising start for you and I wish you luck on your journey!

Found several mistakes.
1.warriors can't move along rivers unless you purchase river boats from riverfolk. Riverfolk company by default can treat rivers as paths
2. Marquise may spend 3 actions by default, after that may discard bird cards to get extra actions( it can be more than the total 4, depends on how many bird cards u discard)

[nickgerstenlauer]

At 2:03 he says "one recruit and one workshop" but then he shows the symbols for recruiter and sawmill. Which one should I do?

[danielcochran]

In "Marquise, " the second S is pronounced like a Z sound. It's not silent. It's notable because the Marquise de Cat is female.

Where are the card sleeves from? Great guide btw!
