Read the full game description

Each player controls 6 Atta ants (leaf eater ants) with the goal to place all ants on the variable board. Hindered by other players' ants and the deadly spiders, ants roam the board for food (little glass tokens), which they need to collect and return to the ant nest in the center of the board. For each food token returned a new ant is placed in the nest. Each round a new tile is added to the game board, which may add more food tokens and more spiders.
