What is the difference between this Kickstarter and the retail version?
You will get the alternative deck, Vagabond meeples, and resin clearing markers for free. They will be sold separately at retail. We try not to do exclusive items, but if something turns out to be prohibitively expensive, we will cut it from the retail release.

Can you add anything from the Vast series to my order?
Sorry, but our logistics are already perilously complicated. You can still order Vast: The Mysterious Manor directly from the old KS page. All Vast products will be available as an add-on. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2074786394/vast-the-mysterious-manor

Will you be translating the game into other languages?
Our language partners are still working through the logistics of translating Root and Root: The Riverfolk Expansion. Assuming these partnerships work out, we will probably extend the same offers to them down the road for Root: The Underworld Expansion. Until then, no translation is available.

I am a brick and mortar retailer, and I would love to carry your game. What should I do?
Make a $5 retailer level pledge and we will message you. Contact Clay at [email protected] for retailer-related questions. We welcome previous partners to return and we will work on vetting new partners as quickly as we can.

How do I know which edition of Root that I have?
You can find it on the back of the box, to the immediate right of the barcode.

Can we get a larger box?
We aren’t done with Root yet. How about when we are done?

Will this impact solo mode?
We are providing an add-on for new automated factions based on the Better Bots Project. Our focus with the bots is on the core factions, we still need to test how they might interact with the new factions.

Will the shipping cost change if I just want to purchase a few of the smaller add-on items?
In that case we will determine an appropriate shipping cost for the order through BackerKit.

If I purchase items through a pledge level and then purchase some add-ons, will the shipping change?
No, it should not be affected.

Isn't there a PnP option for the new faction boards included in the upgrade kit?
Yes! You can find that link here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1gm8SEMX1RQ8YQFjK3bTK9p2Yuds7QDCp
Since you will be getting an updated rulebook with your purchase of The Underworld Expansion, you could choose to just print the information on the updated boards this way instead of buying the upgrade kit.

Is the Better Bots AI expansion included in the "All-In" Evergreen pledge level?
No, it is not included.

Can I get the Vagabond plush?
Yes, you’ll be able to add it as an add-on during the pledge manager after the campaign ends.
Last updated: March 20, 2019 10:22
If I pledge for multiple copies of the game, will I get multiple copies of the free Kickstarter extras?
You’ll receive multiples of the KS extras for each copy of the Underworld expansion pledged since they’ll be logistically bundled together with that product.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
