Description

Here's your chance to get an ant's eye view of life. Suppose you're a starving little ant and some people come along and spread out a lot of mouth-watering snacks for their picnic. You'd really love to get a few but you know it's not going to be easy... This is a children's (Ages 6 - 12) tile laying game where the players try to connect their ant tunnels to the goodies at the picnic (7x7 grid). They can also play tiles of "baddies" (bug spray, ant-eating spiders, human feet that squash ants, etc.) on the other player's tunnels causing them to go around or play a tile clearing the problem before they can go on. When all the goodies are eaten, the player who got the most wins. Although simple (only 5 different tunnel patterns to choose from), no dice rolling or memory element helps young gamers develop and rely on their strategy skills instead of luck.
