    Root is complex, so you need to have someone to really know the rules. But as soon everyone understand what its faction is supposed to do to win, it’s pure pleasure!

        Yes. Cats and birds are the main factions (the ones that focus on board control) others are opportunistic (takes situational benefits). 4 players is the best (2 area control faction + 2 others). 3 is cool too but could looks the same because you need the 2 area control factions at minimum.

        If your group is 3 only. I recommend, if you had budget, to get one expansion that have another area control faction, for more variety.

        Playing 3 with one single area control faction is less fun, IMHO.

        The app version is a good way to learn it too, it has a tutorial and various solo and multi-player modes.
