Root : A game of Woodland Might and Right

Root is the critically acclaimed digital adaptation to the board game of the same name. Our digital version of Root takes the overwhelmingly complex rules of the board game and translates them into a more palatable experience. Hints, tooltips, and cues lead even the most novice players through the tangled woods, but allows expert players to still take advantage of all the nuances of the game rules.

A big challenge on Root has been that the overwhelmingly positive reception led to proportional community feedback and increased pressure to keep the fires stoked and the train rolling. Our team has had to adapt quickly to changing directions as a result of critical feedback while also balancing the numerous new features.
