[[Image:6-player_game_Setup_Branches_and_Twigs_and_Thorns.svg|thumb|none|750px|In a six-player game, the first three players receive null tokens to place (represented by the orange dice) and the next three players receive root tokens (the green dice).]]
 
Instead of automatically occupying the center of the [[chessboard]], the root is placed wherever the non-first player wishes (or the second pair of players in a 4-player game). The first player (and the second, in 4-player) places a "null" to which no one may point. Also, scoring is a bit funnier: not only does the player who placed lose points equal to the size of the target of the placement, but the owner of the target ''gains'' points equal to the size of the hapless pointer. (This is all tracked with tokens.)
