Welcome back to the Game Garage for the Electric Eyrie! Once again, I'll walk you through the steps to implement one of the surprisingly true to form factions from Leder Games' Clockwork Expansion. As with all of them, you can play a solitaire game against the robots, or, if you have other humans to play with, you can play co-op against the clockwork(s), or throw one or more of them in to a competitive match to beef up the player count.

\ 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!

\ BIRD ERRATA \
As I spent time explaining, a major overhaul of the Electric Eyrie is currently errata-able by printing off a properly sized and font'd section of the board that lays out how to run the Decree. Here's the link to the BGG page with that file (all future editions of the Clockworks will have the changes included):

\ 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 are somewhat slow to choose a faction:
