Rival ant queens grow their colonies, carve out nest chambers, and fight for dominance across a dangerous garden.

Gameplay

Score the most points by committing specialized ants to take actions that place nest rooms, reveal and claim hexes, collect resources, hatch new ants, and defeat enemies. Every turn tests how far to expand versus keeping your colony fed and efficient before opponents take the best spaces and rewards.
