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! 😂)

BlueSky has four kinds of users.

I believe board games become even more immersive when you learn not just the rules and artwork, but also the world, lore, and stories behind them. ROOT: A Deep Dive into the Lore The Setting, Goals, and Background of All 13 Factions note.com/root_bg_tk/n...

I’m a huge ROOT fan from Japan, so I took some photos in Japanese clothing on a Japanese street!

We've had many comments asking if we could recommend any books that go deeper into the history of An Infamous Traffic. Well @colewehrle.bsky.social went on @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social's Board and Book to discuss just that. It's time to visit the library! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm3c...

Here's our crew at SPIEL Essen! Stop by 3-D200 mornings before noon and try Kart, our next game! #SpielEssen

Spiel Essen begins tomorrow! Stop by 3-D200 and take Kart for a spin. Demos offered daily from 10AM to noon!

Today, the whole family had a little photo shoot with the new ROOT faction meeples!🐸🦇🦨 @leder.games

I can’t decide which one fits the vibe better…!

In Root, each faction has one animal: cats for Marquise de Cat, birds for Eyrie Dynasties. But the Woodland Alliance is mice, rabbits, and foxes. Warriors are mice, mercenaries are rabbits. If fox pieces ever come out, I'd swap some in and play with all three!

My wife has gotten way too strong… I can’t win anymoreeeee!😭 But it’s always so much fun playing together!🌳✨

Underworld is BACK! (And so is Root base, Exiles & Partisans, Riverfolk ...) If you've been waiting for our ship to come in, it's HERE! bit.ly/RootIsBack

Spooky Season is here! Show the neighborhood your Leder fandom with these pumpkin carving templates. New this year: the Ahoy expansions! bit.ly/LGPumpkins

This week we spent time at Second Harvest Heartland, helping them support food shelves and hunger-relief programs in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. We sorted a lot of potatoes! Learn more about their work here: www.2harvest.org

Today's Root Wife – Marquise de Cat: 30 Me – Twilight Council: 26 Kid – Vagabond (Gladiator): 25 The bats were so fun!! Root really lets every faction shine no matter who you play.

Playing at Twilight Council today!

Wait?! The ROOT meeple-shaped pin set disappeared from the online store while I was still deciding?! Should've bought it sooner… 😭

Gotta post some more content for the Root fiends. They have me backed into a corner 👀... @leder.games #boardgame

If you missed the stream, fear not! The VoD of our Kart 2-Player game (with the dynamic Designer and Development team!) is up now on our YouTube channel! youtu.be/wqDuo8Ct3bA

ROOT Homeland Bag Set has arrived!! ✨🦇🐸🦨✨

KARTのコンセプトもとても楽しそう！ Leder Gamesはいつもわくわくさせてくれる作品ばかりだ！！！

Just gave my ROOT board game shelf a glow-up! 🌲 Absolutely love this game — hoping ALL the expansions get a Japanese release someday…! 🙏✨ @leder.games

My new downhill racing game Kart is now on Kickstarter! In Kart, you play as tweens who've built ridiculous karts out of random junk from garages and the neighborhood dumpster and now you're racing them through your neighbors' backyards. Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/led...

Finally got to play ROOT's newest expansion, "The Homeland Expansion," for the first time! Me: Lilypad Diaspora — 30 Wife: Marquise de Cat — 23 Kid: Knaves of the Deepwood — 12 The new factions are so much fun! Loving it! 😆

I waited 2 years. I waited. This love never cooled down. The latest expansion for my beloved board game ROOT, "The Homeland Expansion," which I backed on Kickstarter, has FINALLY arrived!!! I'm unbelievably happy!! I made a video of a person looking really happy! youtu.be/SI8QHGWp6aU @leder.games

3D print insert for Root Everything is now organized 😂 #Root #boardgame #boardgamesky #ledergames

We have a big announcement! If you've been wanting to get your hands on our nifty looking sweatshirt, now you can! Head on over to buriedgiant.shop/products/coz...

Today’s ROOT Looks like I was wrong about moles existing in this woodland…! 😂

Root Day, Root Day, Root Day!!

What an incredible surprise!! I absolutely NEED to get one!! boardgamegeekstore.com/collections/...

It's Root Day! Let's gooooo

Played John Company for the first time! A truly unique and complex board game focused on negotiation. I had an absolute blast!✨

Hey! We're going to be at PAX West for the first time! Swing by booth 4312 Summit and add our new Root: Underworld Portrait Pin to your collection. (We'll be running demos of Kart, too!)

My 3-year-old was secretly playing with my ROOT pieces when I wasn’t looking. Looks like this forest is at peace today.🌳✨

ROOT-themed rug?! It’s way too cute. I’m so jealous! What an amazing office!👀✨

Inspired by @toddpatriquin.bsky.social, I once photographed ROOT pieces. Today, while camping with my family, I photographed some expansion factions too! Creating scenes that fit their habitats is so much fun! And once again, I’m amazed by Imagine All The Meeple’s work. Huge respect! @leder.games

I made a Japanese digital summary for each ROOT faction! 🌳✨ rootdake.com/summary Check off actions as you take your turn, so you can always see what you’re able to do right now! It’ll warn you if you’re missing a required action. *Unofficial fan-made project

Root these days is large and in-charge. When I got the recently released card stock mats it gave me an opportunity to do a quick overview of my personal organization in case it helps other folks. youtube.com/shorts/7Ba4r...

I went with a strap myself, but a ring is so cute too! 🥹 Thank you so much for all your hard work at GenCon this year!

I wrote a ROOT-focused article after a long time! This time, I introduced 【ROOT Expansions & Goods Not Available in Japan】 all in one post. note.com/root_bg_tk/n... None of these have a Japanese release. ROOT has so many amazing expansions worth importing just to play!

The excitement around Gen Con is making its way all the way to Japan! …My Kickstarter copy of Homeland still hasn’t arrived, but seeing everyone’s Gen Con photos is making me even more excited. I can’t wait!

WE'RE READY! Come see us at booth 623! #GenCon

We had a most delightful visitor at the booth today! He kept asking for relics, don’t know what that was about…

Family ROOT! Wife (Alliance): 30 VP Me (Duchy): 24 VP Child (Cats): 22 VP I let my guard down and let my wife pull off a huge comeback. There should've been tons of Duchy forces left, but they vanished by the end. Such a fun game as always!

This is “Pla-Colo,” a Pokémon dice game sold in Japan. Customize your dice by swapping energy chips, then roll your Pokémon dice—if your move lands, you deal damage in a head-to-head battle. A thrilling mix of luck and strategy!😆

Today’s ROOT First time playing ROOT just the two of us — me and my oldest son! Losing to him let me feel how much he’s grown, and it made for such a happy time.

Demoing Root Homeland at SDHist North! #boardgames

Gen Con is just weeks away! Be sure to stop by our booth (623) and check out our new Root pin, celebrating the Homeland Expansion! Read more about our plans here: bit.ly/GC2026withLG

Today’s my birthday!🎂 Thanks to all of you, every day has been fun and happy.😆 This year, I hope to play even more ROOT and add more family-friendly games so we can play together more often. Thanks for your support!
