Root: Playmat Marsh/Gorge

The Root Marsh/Gorge playmat gives your Root games a fresh coat of terrain by swapping the base board for a thick neoprene surface that feels great under your pieces and holds up far better than cardboard or cloth over time. Both sides reproduce the Marsh and Gorge boards introduced in Root: The Homeland Expansion, refreshing the woodland's geography without changing any of the core rules.

The Gorge side tightens the map around a central canyon crossed by rope bridges, creating natural chokepoints that concentrate fighting in the middle clearings for a tenser, close-quarters feel. The Marsh side goes the other way with a modular layout: play it with the standard 12 clearings or expand it to comfortably seat 5 or 6 players without anyone feeling cramped. A scoring track is printed right along the edge of the mat, so you can track points without any extra tools.

You will love this playmat if you host Root nights often and are tired of folding a cloth board that eventually wrinkles or slides around the table. Its thick surface stays put, wipes clean easily, and rolls up without creasing, which also makes storage between sessions much simpler.

This is an accessory: it does not replace the game box, and you will need the base game Root to use it, since the pieces, cards, and rules come from that box.
