How to use: First, make sure you have the core Root game as this expansion requires it. Set up the new faction boards, place the wooden warriors, tokens, and other pieces as described in the learning - to - play booklet. Choose your faction, which could be the new Riverfolk Company or The Lizard Cult. Follow the rules for cooperative scenarios or bot play if you want a different gaming experience. There are also different vagabond variants to add more variety. Note: Since it includes wooden pieces, handle them gently to avoid breakage. The spare pieces with letter backs are for future scenarios, so keep them safe for later use. Maintenance: Store the game in a dry place to prevent the wooden pieces from warping. After each use, put all the pieces back in their proper places to keep them organized and ready for the next game.
