These are ROOT art sleeves that aren’t sold in Japan — and a ROOT event flyer that was handed out at SPIEL ESSEN 2025!
I couldn’t attend, but I received these wonderful souvenirs.
I also really love the time spent sleeving cards.

The Japanese edition of ROOT is getting hard to find, and used copies are going for premium prices.
Then I realized — I can just get the English edition!
It’s a great way to learn English and stop worrying about future expansions being released in Japanese.
I’ll start looking for one soon!

told me they wanted to play ROOT, so I explained the rules and played together!
Next time, they said they want to try a different faction.
It was an amazing time!

Usually I play board games about battles in the forest,
but today I’ll spend a peaceful time in the woods instead. 🌳🎲

I love the legendary asymmetric board game ROOT so much that I created a Japanese fan site! 😆✨

I’m also working on a map of board game cafés in Japan where you can play ROOT!

By the way, have you ever noticed how many rounds you usually play in ROOT?
This time I counted—it was only 8 rounds. Surprisingly few!

Our 2year old son is growing fast, and he keeps abducting tons of components from the table, so it’s getting harder to play board games! (But it’s wonderful that he’s growing and showing interest in board games.)
So ROOT has mostly become digital play for us.Lately, my wife has been way too strong!

The Woodland Alliance’s Sympathy tokens I lost last time are still missing…
So this time I labeled and counted every bag of pieces. My handwriting is awful, so my wife rewrote them—teamwork!
Now ROOT is ready to travel anywhere again!

A card game from Leder Games.
The icons take a little effort to learn, but once you play, the heavy player interaction and unique deck-building make it incredibly fun.
And Kyle Ferrin’s artwork? Just absolutely the best!!!
Also, it made me crave pizza. So I ate some.
