Root Down is a 2-player abstract strategy game played on a standard 8x8 square game board. The main mechanic is that all of a player's pieces flip from a state where they can move (kickers) to a state where they cannot move (roots) after every move. The kickers must also be next to a root in order to move, and the number of spaces they move is also determined by the number of kickers next to each root.
