Watch “Root: The Marauder Expansion Review,” a board game review for Root: The Marauder Expansion from Board Of It on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Board Of It on YouTube:
The Marauder Expansion is the newest expansion for the popular asymmetric wargame Root which introduces two new factions and a new gameplay mechanism, The Hirelings. This is a particularly good expansion for people who play at lower player counts, as both factions (Keepers in Iron and The Lord of the Hundreds) can be played in a two-player game, and may aspects of The Hirelings will help facilitate more interesting games at lower player counts.
