You Must Sacrifice!

What does it mean to sacrifice something? In Root, there are plenty of mechanics that require using up your resources that could be useful elsewhere - spending cards is the most common example. But usually, the benefit is immediate and/or easily worth the cost. Sacrificing in Root instead often takes the form of policing, stalling your engine and forcing you to spend actions and resources on slowing down the leader. But what other ways could we explore this? Maybe your faction has to permanently remove warriors from the game to build your engine. What about your hand size? Your crafted cards? Your imagination is the limit! Good luck!
