Root: Landmarks Pack

Root: Landmarks Pack – Shape the Woodland with Powerful Relics of the Past

Bring your battles for the forest into legend with the Root: Landmarks Pack. This expansion introduces four striking wooden landmarks—each imbued with game-changing abilities that redefine control, power, and strategy across the Woodland. Whether you're leading the nefarious Marquise de Cat, fomenting rebellion as the Woodland Alliance, or maneuvering through dangerous woodland paths as a wandering Vagabond, these iconic sites give every game of Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right a whole new layer of tension and tactics.

⚠️ This is an expansion. A copy of the Root board game is required to play.

What Are Landmarks?

Landmarks are physical wooden tokens placed in select clearings on the board. Each landmark introduces a unique power or rule that applies to the clearing it's in—impacting any player who gains control of that area. They’re simple to add, compatible with every faction, and perfect for shaking up your strategy in both the base game and with any expansions like the Underworld Expansion, Riverfolk Expansion, or Marauder Expansion.

• Works at any player count

• Easy to incorporate without increasing game length

• Adds dramatic mid-game shifts and long-term planning opportunities

• Each landmark is screen-printed, beautifully designed, and thematically rich

Included in the Root: Landmarks Pack

This pack contains four unique landmarks that transform how players interact with the map and each other:

The Black Market

Need something specific? Gain flexibility like never before. At the Black Market, you can barter for anything you need—giving you an edge in crafting, engine building, and unexpected late game presence.

• Ideal for factions focused on ongoing construction and resource management like the Marquise de Cat

• Fuel your workshops, lumber mills, or even your own secret quests faster than ever

The Lost City

A place of wonder and mystery. The Lost City allows you to find new friends and followers wherever you’re from. Especially powerful for the Woodland Alliance or Lizard Cult, it accelerates your ability to recruit, rally, and spark revolt.

• Amplifies the alliance’s hopes by letting you recruit where you normally couldn’t

• A must-use landmark for aggressive or support-based factions looking for flexibility

The Legendary Forge

Craft a masterwork that could change the course of the entire game. Whether you’re scoring more victory points or equipping yourself for a deadly strike, the Legendary Forge rewards the bold.

• Offers a tactical edge to vagabond plays, clockwork expansion bots, or anyone needing a late game powerhouse

• Especially deadly when combined with Partisans Deck combos or faction-hostile tactics

The Elder Treetop

Sit high above the forest and claim your place as its true ruler. Holding the Elder Treetop offers both prestige and power—it may be the edge you need to secure as much territory as possible and outlast the other factions.

• Perfect for the Eyrie Dynasties or Keepers in Iron, who benefit from holding and defending powerful regions

• Adds extra weight to map control and domination strategies

Why Add Landmarks to Your Root Game?

Landmarks are the perfect modular enhancement to your Root board game sessions. They’re quick to set up, easy to understand, and dramatically change the way players navigate the vast wilderness of the forest.

• Encourages new decision-making on where to fight, what to control, and when to strike

• Adds tactical depth to engine-building and victory point planning

• Forces players to adapt to changing power structures, not just opponents

Whether you’re commanding a mighty industrial war machine, guiding a squabbling eyrie, or working from the shadows as a lone vagabond, these legendary sites force you to rethink your approach—and offer new tools to reshape the woodland might and right.

Root Expands Again—Elegantly and Effectively

Each landmark makes other board games feel simpler by comparison, offering depth without bloat and replay value without confusion.
