Ants

2–2 players · 15 min · 8+

The game consists in placing ants in order to create the largest area with pheromones of your color. It is a tile placement game with a piling system and ants-themed. The game is free to print & play!

At the beginning of the game, players chose who will play as brown and who will play as beige. Each turn a player must draw a tile and add it to his/her hand. He/She then chooses one for the two tiles in his hand and places it in the game area. To place a tile, at least two of the six edges must connect to a tile already present. It is possible to stack a tile on top of others if there is no empty gap underneath (the rule of the 2 edges connection does no apply in this case).

The game ends when all tiles have been placed. The player with the largest area of his color wins.
