This is a fun one. It reminds me of my fan faction Cirque du Goat a bit with the ability to share enable other factions to rule and with the use of goats. Some of the verbage on the board leads to confusion. On programmed to receive, you talk about leading warriors through the forest. "Lead" isn't an action in Root, and so why not incorporate the word "move" in there instead? You also talk about matching cards, but that should just be 5 cards of a matching suit, right? There are small wording quibbles that I think could cause momentary confusion. They did for me, and I just think it could be worded a bit better. I love how hotels just keep stacking on top of each other and how "guests" get benefits from your hotels. It seems very interactive. Great work!

Thank you for stopping to provide feedback! I saw Cirque du Goat on a forum when I went looking for official art, and there's another goat faction in this jam! I think this means Leder Games needs to hurry up and introduce the official goat faction already ~.n
Programmed to Receive was definitely the rule that got the most revision through playtest. Conceptually, it's pretty simple, move a piece through the gruff forest to a hotel... except it's not a 'Move' as it isn't to or from adjacent spaces. The included Law of Root should detail the specifics of the keyword (assuming we managed to keep the wording parallel through the multiple revisions, which I doubt.)
