Root vs The Resistance: Avalon
Side by side comparison of two top board games
Root
Root is an asymmetrical game where players take on different woodland factions with completely different play styles. The Marquise de Cat rules the forest, the Eyrie Dynasties seeks to reclaim their throne, the Woodland Alliance plots revolution, and the Vagabond plays both sides. Each faction has its own victory condition and unique mechanics.
The Resistance: Avalon
The Resistance: Avalon is a social deduction game where players are Knights of the Round Table on a quest to find the Holy Grail. Hidden among them are spies working for Mordred. Players debate, accuse, and vote to determine who goes on missions. This hidden-identity game is all about reading players and building trust.
