I feel like every game where I get this and fully upgrade, it just goes insane. A 60% damage boost plus heading half of the total from your items and augments basically turns you into a god with several combos. Obviously if you're going for a statstick build it's lame, but for anything else...
I'm playing root in a few hours with a total of 6 people including myself. We've all played quite a few board games, including kemet and blood rage, and one person has actually played root with me a few times (and is better than I am)
But.
A couple of the learners have... ungenerous... attention spans. 6 people is kinda pushing it in terms of player size and game length for experienced players. And I doubt I'll be able to convince the other root player to take it easy on the others in any significant way.
Does anyone have tips for teaching? Should I sit out the actual play and just facilitate? I'm nervous about that too since I feel like I already have quarterbacking tendencies that I have a hard time recognizing in the moment.
For what it's worth, two of the new players would probably be happy to team up and play as one faction, but that might make it more confusing.
