March of the Ants

Players develop an ant colony that expands beneath the meadow and sends forces aboveground to explore and claim territory. The shared Meadow is built by revealing and placing terrain tiles, while underground players manage resources, breed larvae, and assign Workers and Soldiers to forage, tunnel, or fight rival colonies and pests. Event cards introduce global or targeted effects, and Evolution cards change ant body parts to grant new abilities and specializations. Colony Points are earned by controlling tiles and meeting secret and public goals, driving strategic planning between growth, combat, and resource management.
