Description

March of the Ants: Minions of the Meadow is an exciting expansion to the original March of the Ants game, where colonies gain powerful new tools to aid in their conquest of the meadow. With the introduction of Major Workers, players can explore, expand, and battle their way to victory, using their unique powers to scout the best territory or lead their armies to war. The game also features Aphid Farms, which grant majestic rewards when players form symbiotic relationships with these tiny creatures, herding them to new hexes where they can grow and provide greater harvests. As players navigate the modular board, they'll need to use their wits to outmaneuver their opponents, using Tactics like Feint, Ferocious Expansion, and Savage Cannibals to catch them off guard and turn the tide of battle. But beware, Parasitic Evolutions can infect opponent's ants, corrupting their most powerful evolutions and forcing them to share their gains. And if that's not enough, fearsome Predators like the Centipede Broodmother and the Trapdoor Spider roam beyond the meadow, waiting to strike. With 60 to 90 minutes of playtime and support for 1 to 5 players, March of the Ants: Minions of the Meadow offers a fun and challenging experience for fans of the original game and new players alike.
