- Reposted by Leder GamesRowdy game of Root tonight, still one of the all time greats. It’s always tough to teach friends new factions when you know the game, but fortunately Steve and Natalie are amazing sports to deal with the overhead and deal with my Lord of the Hundreds bullshit. @leder.games

It's a big, bold fantastical war game about who gets to write history and what they write. There's an expansion coming up next year that threatens to add even more historiographical glee
