Watch “Asymmetric Exercises 9: The Badgers,” a board game video for Root: The Marauder Expansion from GIVEPAUSE hobby on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by GIVEPAUSE hobby on YouTube:
EDIT: LOL I totally forgot to put in the picture of the rough draft... so it's just the "reminder" text of "ROUGH DRAFT" Sorry! I'll try and remember to actually show that step for the next one!
Holy moly, it's been a year and a half since the last new Asymmetric Exercise, and it feels good to be back! As with the first eight, I start this video blabbing all about the thematic concepts I was trying to pay homage to while also sharing the educational, performance, and trumpet-centric thoughts going on behind the scenes.
Enjoy the music, and we'll see you at some point in the future for episode 10! The rats!

OTHER ROOT STUFF:
\ ROOTbotics BASICS \
If you're not fully comfortable with the basics of the ROOTbots, here's a video all about that! This was the first video in my reboot of the whole clockwork series, entitled ROOTbot Academy. Enjoy!

\ BETTER BOT PROJECT \
If you're interested in this or any of the other free-to-print BBP factions, head on over to Board Game Geek to get the most up-to-date files as well as read any discussions that might be taking place:

\ MY FLOWCHART \
And if you catch a glimpse of the inside of my Root box cover, my homemade Root faction flowchart (with major props to Tom Teaches for the better icons) is available to print and have with you at all times, in case you or other players need some help with faction choice. Also, this will be getting a total overhaul with the new factions sometime this spring once I've had more time to play around with them:

\ MY POEM ABOUT THE FLOWCHART \
This was my entry to the 60-Second Root competition to help celebrate the Marauder Expansion, wherein I confess my undying love for the game in the form of prose, referencing the aforementioned flowchart and what it means for a game to inspire _this_ much creativity in its fans:

\ MY TRUMPET EXERCISES \
Speaking of undying love and creativity, here are the eight exercises I wrote for trumpet inspired by the eight factions currently in print (the rats and badgers will have to be added soon!):

\ ROOT THE MUSICAL!? \
Okay, now I'm just being ridiculous. This was ANOTHER creative project that sort of lit my brain on fire for one weekend... I made a spoof on a different song from a different Broadway musical for each of the currently published factions... I know... usually this is when someone says "get a hobby" but clearly I already have one...

LEDER GAMES!
For the incredible work that every member of the Leder team puts into titles like Root in order to transport us to the ruthless, wondrous woodlands, from the bottom of my heart I thank you. I also additionally thank Kyle Ferrin and the Leder team for making some of his ridiculously good Root artwork available for the 60-second Root competition so I could make this new venture look that much prettier (all rights reserved to Leder Games and Kyle Ferrin as applicable).
VIEWERS!
Thanks for being here!
