Gingham
Players place their queens around a checkered picnic cloth and deploy ants along rows to connect stacks of sweets and claim stockpiles. Each round begins with a lead player choosing an outer edge; players then place a queen next to a row on that edge and drop an ant into the corresponding row, with placement constrained by an inner “stitch” boundary and by proximity to a star marker that affects turn order. Chains of matching sweet tokens formed by contiguous ants combine into stacked piles while surrounding sugar cubes become claimable currency for abilities. Players balance immediate placement flexibility against securing a favorable turn-order position for subsequent rounds.
