March of the Ants
As spring dawns the great thaw begins. Deep beneath the lush meadow grasses the queen stirs in her nest and the colony comes to life. Soldiers venture forth, battling centipedes while clashing with opposing colonies for territory. Workers dig an ever-expanding network of tunnels in their tireless search for food. The first larvae hatch and it is clear this generation will be different: the young colonies rapidly evolve into a multitude of new forms. The ants march out to claim the meadow as their own.
What is March of the Ants
As spring dawns the great thaw begins. Deep beneath the lush meadow grasses the queen stirs in her nest and the colony comes to life. Soldiers venture forth, battling centipedes while clashing with opposing colonies for territory. Workers dig an ever-expanding network of tunnels in their tireless search for food. The first larvae hatch and it is clear this generation will be different: the young colonies rapidly evolve into a multitude of new forms. The ants march out to claim the meadow as their own.
In March of the Ants, you create the shared Meadow board by sending your ants to explore it, revealing and strategically placing two dozen unique tiles like Fern, Pebble, and Nest of Centipedes.
Populate new territory by breeding larvae and marching your ants onto collection sites. Will you engage competing colonies in battle, seeking to claim the land for yourself? Or will you establish peaceful, symbiotic relationships and share the spoils? All of this must be done while carefully managing the resources in your underground nest.
Forage for Event Cards like Strange Appetite, Cold Snap, and Fungal Outbreak to impact the entire board – or just one unlucky opponent.

What the community says about March of the Ants
ES un 4X del estilo del eclipse, pero simplificado para que tenga una duración más corta. El juego es bastante temático. Cada jugador gestiona una colonia de hormigas.. y con ellas puede explorar, jugar cartas, mover y robar cartas. Las cartas las hay de tres tipos: eventos, mejoras y puntos de colonia (que darán puntos al final de la partida). Las mejoras se aplican al cuerpo de una hormiga (cabeza, torax y abdomen) y otorgan una cualidad única a tu raza de hormigas. Las batallas son sencillas, aunque pueden resultar algo confusas cuando participan varios jugadores. Es sencillo de jugar,
Excelente juego estilo 4x
