Episode 230 - Expanding Root

Pete and Brendan bring you the jumbo sized sequel to episode 219.  We dig into the decision spaces of all six Root expansion factions!  We also talk about the new boards and cards.  This is our sort of farewell love letter to this amazing game.  We ran pretty long because I think we didn't want it to end!!!
