HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (132 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ #update May 2021: after the 3rd online game in the row that got stuck with no way to continue, I'm lowering my review to 2 stars..
★★★★★ Don't care how great a digital adaptation of the physical game this, and actually it is rather good, but lack of an undo button in any digital board game is nothing short of negligence from the developers and…
★★★★★ OK, lowered my score due to another HUGE problem -- the lack of an "Undo" button after you perform an action but before any dice are rolled/cards revealed, etc.
Slow, laggy, battery7%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Getting back into async game takes forever and half the time it crashes.
★★★★★ It is SO painful to wait for the AI to play. Especially early in a game where you have little to do and the AI then goes on and on and on and on playing its moves. I have an iPad Pro so speed is not the issue. Many…

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I wish there was an option for 60fps+ instead of locking it to 30. 5★, Jun 1, 2026
  • I wish the fast-forward feature was faster. 5★, May 22, 2026

  • I wish there were more like this of my favorite board games. 5★, Feb 24, 2025
  • During pass and play it would be great if there was a way to just hide and unhide the hand so that everyone can watch moves that affect other players. 5★, Feb 12, 2025
  • The tutorials are excellent, but could maybe add a little bit more of the nuance from the law of root. 5★, Dec 26, 2024
  • I like the factions they were actually in there and they are based on the actual board game, but I was still wondering when are you gonna add the other new factions they were already released? 5★, Dec 17, 2024
  • I wish I had had it before teaching the game and learning it myself. 5★, Dec 14, 2024

Great game design

Just a ton of fun!

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
needs commands or table vote for greater undo power

can’t get this game going bc my group is mostly new to root! someone will make a mistake and then be unable to change it or tap the continue button an extra time on accident etc. they just lose all the motivation to play because their game while maybe not over is fairly damaged over a simple whoopsie

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
Great adaptation of an incredible game

Beautiful adaptation of my favorite board game. Over 100 games in and going strong

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
Poor solo play experience

The AI in this game is pretty bad. The AI players make no attempt to slow down the leader so once one player pulls slightly ahead it’s pretty much over.

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026
Best game ever

Awesome

Released Sep 24, 2020. Current version shipped Mar 11, 2026.

Store description

Play the digital adaptation of the beloved tabletop board game. Root is a game of adventure and war where 2 to 4 players battle for control of a vast wilderness. The nefarious Marquise de Cat has seized the great woodland, intent on harvesting its riches. Under her rule, the many creatures of the forest have banded together. This Alliance will seek to strengthen its resources and subvert the rule of Cats. In this effort, the Alliance may enlist the help of the wandering Vagabonds who are able to move through the more dangerous woodland paths. Though some may sympathize with the Alliance’s hopes and dreams, these wanderers are old enough to remember the great birds of prey who once controlled the woods. Meanwhile, at the edge of the region, the proud, squabbling Eyrie have found a new commander who they hope will lead their faction to resume their ancient birthright. The stage is set for a contest that will decide the fate of the great woodland. It is up to the players to decide which group will ultimately take root.
