Bites

Players move colored ants along a shared food trail and collect the tokens they pass, aiming to assemble the most valuable set by game end. Food token values depend on how ants finish at the hill: some games reward the ants that arrive first, others reward those that arrive last, and wine and chocolate tokens give alternate scoring or special actions. On a turn a player advances any ant to the next matching food and then takes the token immediately before or after that ant. Four modular rule decks (Ant Hill, Wine, Chocolate, Variant) combine each play into a different rule mix, so players must adapt their tactics to changing incentives and to how other players move the ants.

    Wow, this game has all the makings of a great filler / gateway game! I first played it at a gaming event that featured games designed by women. I enjoyed it so much I went out and bought my own copy the next day. It has great looking components, a fun theme everyone understands, very simple to explain rules, short duration, and some interesting depth. And then, bonus! there are cards that change some rules in clever ways, so you get great replayability.

    Matematicament complex. L'edat de catorze anys em pareix exagerada (tot depenent de la mena de cartes d'acció), però afinar estrategies pot ser decisiu, aleshores, l'edat, pot afectar i ser decisiva quan es barretjen edats de persones amb experiencia al joc. Dit açò, el meu fill de nou anys em guanya. Diversión 4/5 · Interacción 4/5 · Atractivo 4/5 · Originalidad 4/5 · Rejugabilidad 4/5 · Accesibilidad 4/5
