Box Text: For Queen & Colony You are a Queen Tyr-ant ruling over a new ant colony in the park. Eating food you can produce either new Peas-ants who create supply lines to bring back more food or new Serge-ants who protect your peas-ants and do battle with the park's other inhabitants. As food falls to the ground from the world above compete to collect what you can before the other ant colonies gobble it all up. But Beware! You will need to plan your next move carefully and also be ready to adapt to changing events. A simple strategic game of expansion and conquest, fun for the whole family. Play it safe gathering food or take your serge-ants on a rampage, it's up to you.
