- Our take
- Get one if you often play with few players. Pick the pack for factions you own least.
- What it adds
- Small side factions that any player can control for a while.
- What it fixes
- Fills the map in small games so 2- and 3-player games feel fuller.
- What you need first
- Root (base game)
- Riverfolk Hirelings Pack
You need Root. You do not need the matching faction box.
