Ants
Lead your ant colony to greatness: dig, explore, gather and grow.
In a very small world, can you lead your colony to greatness? Ants is a heavyweight strategy game in which each player runs an ant colony in a garden, starting from one of nine unique Queens whose asymmetric powers steer your whole approach.
Several systems interlock. On your own anthill board you dig in Room tiles of different shapes, and completing areas of the nest earns stars, a major source of points. Out on the shared garden map you explore to uncover food, leaves and mushrooms along with the creatures that stand in your way. On the incubation board you manage the colony's life cycle, raising eggs into larvae and then into adult diggers, explorers and gatherers, each of which powers a different kind of action.
Gatherers placed on the map form supply chains that collect resources automatically and lay down pheromones to claim territory, so there is plenty of interaction without direct conflict. A deck of more than 150 Room, Skill and Deed cards drives combos and engine-building, and enemies can be fought for trophies. With multiple viable routes to victory, from architectural mastery of the nest to territorial control, colony growth or card play, a double-sided board and evolving card combinations, every game of Ants plays out differently. For the colony!

Important Notes:
1. Meeple Stars can be earned on retail merchandise purchased through both our webstore and café shop.
2. Most of our prices include VAT at 20%. Meeple Stars are not earned on the VAT
portion of the price. For example, if you buy a game for £50, you'll earn Meeple Stars on the net amount of £41.67 (the remaining £8.33 goes to HMRC), which would give you 125 Meeple Stars.
3. Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.
4. Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.
5. Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.
