Roots: A Game of Inventing Words

Description

Roots is a game of inventing words. Players combine Prefix and Suffix cards to create new words, competing for the best connection to a Subject card. Whoever delivers the best explanation for their word captures that Subject card, gaining a potential piece of their secret Win condition. But stay sharp: players can manipulate each other's progress with various Power cards, undermining opponents while advancing themselves. The result is narrative warfare in which the most creative, best spoken, and craftiest thrive. Pick up your copy today! Reviews of Roots: "What if there were a way you could actually construct a word out of component pieces using actual etymology...Well, that way is now totally real!" - Kyle Anderson, Nerdist Industries "The creation of words is so much fun that you'll find yourself not minding when you get one-upped by a clever combination - Roots has many, many moments of 'I'm not even mad. That's amazing.'" - Jonathan Bolding, The Escapist "It's got one of those wonderfully simple concepts that you immediately understand and which presents all sorts of clever and perhaps even hilarious possibilities." - Shut Up And Sit Down Some Roots Example: Amorsaur, Cogniful, Transcrat, Vesperdorminaut
