Description
Root: The Clockwork Expansion allows players to square off against four fiendishly automated factions. Insert a faction to round out a low-player count game or team up for co-operative play! Compete against the:
Mechanical Marquise 2.0 - Dodge her marauding patrols as you try to stop her from completing her building tracks.
Electric Eyrie: Shore up the Woodland's defenses against this fearsome invader. If they go unchallenged, the Woodland will soon be flooded with their forces.
Automated Alliance - Police these radicals and raze their bases before a little uprising turns into a massive rebellion.
Vagabot - Hunt the dastardly Vagabot across the many clearings of the game or attempt to court him with items.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's very much a we're at the top of the hill, let's move down uh and try to get the best combo of things along the way and avoid the worst stuff, enjoy the best stuff.
- It's very much a it's something that I haven't seen done in races before is the or race games to truly be 98% about the steering.
- The game started as more of a like hand builder, deck builder, uh, card shedddter sort of game where I kept running up against the thing where the deck had to be so thin because basically every draw you kind of needed to have a left and a right.
- It's a lot of stubbornness. It's really you are going to make many versions of a game that's bad. You just have to make a few that get better each time
- Leader Games to me has always been I mean if we can use abstract terminology is aspirational uh weirdness you know like it's playing in spaces with uh board games where it feels innovative but not just iterating on pre-existing ideas but actually taking big gamles on what games can be.
