Board

Root is played on a board depicting an autumn forest, divided into twelve clearings connected by paths and separated by dense woodland.

Each clearing has a suit, represented by the color of the trees and a small adjacent symbol: Rabbit, Fox and Mouse.

Clearings also contain white squares, which represent building slots. The number of slots varies by clearing, reflecting its capacity to support infrastructure.
