Roots and Shoots is an abstracted territory control game in which you are plants searching for delectable nutrients and hoping for rain before the others encroach.

Equipment:

* a uniquely colored set of glass beads or stones for each player
* go board
* a set of dice for each player containing d4,d6,d8,d10,d12, and d20
* stack of nutrient markers (pennies or the like)

The goal of the game is to collect as many valuable nutrient markers as possible before the nutrient supply runs out or anyone's supply of beads runs out. Then the player with the highest nutrient point total wins.
