Root Ultimate Organizer – Accommodates 3D Buildings!

The Ultimate Organizer for Leder Games' Root – A Woodland Game of Might and Right. You love Root. You can't get enough of it. You've bought everything Leder Games sells – Not just the expansions but the clearing markers, the mats, the hirelings, all of it. Not stopping at that, you also got the 3D Buildings from BGExpansions on Etsy. Then the problem came – how to store it all neatly? This is my answer to the problem. After a labor of love over a few months of tinkering and several kgs of filament in bad prints, I've landed on a solution that will store everything in a way that's incredibly easy to use, in just the core box and one expansion box, with no lid lift. Each faction has one self-contained tray with a neat and tidy space for every component. There's a closing lid on each box so no worry about tumbling, vertical storage, etc. The names are inscribed on each faction box in the original game font, and the distinctive meeples and faction components can all be seen at a glance. There's an additional tray to hold the deck, ruins, ruin items, and setup cards, a tray to hold the dice, clearing markers, craftable items, mountain path covers, and the three standalone hirelings, and two more trays the other ten hirelings, all the landmarks, and the other components required to play with hirelings and landmarks. Between these, everything you need to play root any way you want is included in this box, with a few notable exceptions: 1. The game boards do not fit. I use the excellent mats anyway so there was no reason to make extra room for unused components. 2. There is only room for one deck. If you don't have Exiles and Partisans, that's not a problem, and if you do, I don't know why you would want the base game deck. 3. The bot boards do not fit. An additional expansion box could hold any mix of game boards or bot boards you choose, but since I never use either (I find the hirelings more fun than the bots, which now feel almost entirely unnecessary), I didn't consider them for this project. 4. If you've purchased 3D miniatures to replace your meeples, this doesn't accommodate that. I didn't feel the need to support those since they're not only obscenely expensive and terribly fragile, but they also take away a little from the original screen-printed meeple aesthetic that made root famous in the first place. 5. On a similar note, this organizer accommodates the screen-printed wooden landmarks, but it does not fit the 3D landmarks from BGExpansions. I wish I could say this was a choice of preference, but in all honesty I could not find any way at all to fit the 3D landmarks. I was torn on which I preferred already, so I made the choice to use the ones I could fit. 6. Coin capsules are required for Corvid plots and Keeper relics. 3D Waystations are supported but Plots are not. The Duchy crowns go in the burrow, which will fit either the wooden or plastic versions. 7. I cannot absolutely guarantee this will fit your sleeves. I can guarantee that all pockets will accommodate some sleeves, and some pockets will accommodate all sleeves, but some may not fit larger or thicker sleeves. I originally benchmarked the card thickness around 0.5mm which is rather thin. In most cases I updated it to 0.58 or 0.6mm, though I am not certain I double-checked this everywhere. The main deck box itself is very spacious and will accept very heavy-duty sleeves. Every pocket also offers about 3mm extra width and length for each card.

This is rather a precise job. The lids will accept some tiny resizing (up to about ±0.5%) to improve fit if necessary.
