Not an April fools joke! I posted my first video 7 years ago today. Here is a letter to those that care to read ❤️ @leder.games
NOT an April Fool’s joke: We are playing first cuts of Homeland bots and they are mean, but they work. What a good day. #root
my $100 budget to start my board game collection over would include these games, ahoy, the white castle, lord of the rings the trick taking game, spot it, and with any money left over, some card sleeves for lotr.
$100 reset challenge! What #boardgames would you get to start your collection over, limited to $100?
1. $32 Ahoy 2-4p (just fantastic)
2. $32 The White Castle 1-4p (small box, big game!)
3. $27 LOTR TTG 1-4p (chef kiss)
4. $5 Spot It. 2-8p (duh)
5. Card sleeves (had $4 leftover)
INCREDIBLE! Congrats on funding +++++!!!
Y’all acting like we aren’t on the verge of bats & frogs getting added to ROOT.
So stoked to FINALLY checkout Homeland here soon, especially since interviewing designer Joshua Yearsley about it over a year and a half ago. @leder.games 🦇 🐸

Can cats play games?
Can cats play board games?
Yes, if the game is as good as Root by @leder.games.

Just played the new Homeland expansion for Root (by @colewehrle.bsky.social & Joshua Yearsely for @leder.games)!
There's a piratical seagull in @magpiegames.bsky.social ROOT RPG and I was wondering what they'd look like in my version of the style. (ROOT thanks to @leder.games and art @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social )
It’s fun to be a knave
@leder.games
The new @leder.games Root expansion came in the mail. Loving the clever mechanics these new factions introduce to the game!

Root: The Homeland Expansion Cute thin line art style. a lizard, frog, bat, and skunk in fantasy ttrpg style clothes
Big fan of the art style~ Root: The Homeland Expansion is on its way! From @leder.games
Felt puppets of the Woodland Alliance, Riverfolk Otters, and Lizard Cult meeples on rulers. They look like they're making a movie!
Today is World Puppetry Day and we're thinking about the entries from our 60-Second Root Festival in 2021. Many are still on YouTube, here's a playlist! bit.ly/60SecRootPla...

ROOT JAPAN CHAMPIONSHIP 2026 has concluded!
A magical time for everyone.
My heart is so full. It was an absolute honor to host this incredible game in Japan. I’d love to do it all over again!
Thank you, @leder.games
(P.S. Unlike the Japanese habit of hiding faces in photos, mine is out there! 😂)
