If you are like me. you got root physical, and really want to play but no one in your local play group wants to play this is an AMAZING way to go about playing root, while also being a much more affordable price tag compared to root physical (due to not needing to pay for the physical materials) If your looking for faithful mechanical adaptations compared to root physical, I am yet to find any mechnical inaccuracy's compared to root physical if you want to play the expansions, the game lets you use the hosts DLC factions in random drafts, or the hosts DLC if it affects the game itself directly even if you can manage to play with your physical play group, root digital has the nice benfit of faster set up, clean up, and book keeping, due to not needing to handle it manually Suppose the only real drawback compared to physical would be, if you want to choose your dlc faction then you need all participents to own a copy. (Unless your playing local play, then you need to trust the other player isnt looking at your cards when its your turn) but overall, its fun
Due to being one of the most asymmetric board games in existence, Root is surprisingly deep and difficult to master. If you haven't played before, do not expect to win your first game or three. You need to fully understand how every faction works before you even stand a chance, so I recommend methodically playing (losing) a game as each before you start to expect any wins. Once you find yourself able to win (or at least come close), Root is one of the most rewarding board game experiences there is. As for the digital implementation, Dire Wolf has knocked it out of the park. It's basically flawless. Every UI element makes perfect sense, and all information is easy to find, easy to read. My one complaint would be that the rules themselves are weirdly tucked away in the options menu under Gameplay, and that even then, you are not given the full rules, so you have to go dig up a PDF to learn the finer details. Despite that minor criticism, I have no qualms about enthusiastically recommending this fantastic game. I haven't looked at the expansion DLC yet, but I plan to grab it soon!
