Root: The Underworld Expansion is now available on Steam, Google Play, the App Store and Nintendo Switch!

The fourth expansion to the award-winning digital adaptation of the beloved wargame from Leder Games, Root: The Underworld Expansion introduces two new factions and two new maps to conquer. Advanced Setup rules let you customize the battle ahead. Prove your right to rule with new challenges and achievements that test your tactical mettle!
