Micropolis

Players recruit and move ants through an expanding anthill of connected tiles to gather resources, grow their army, and influence scoring roles. Over ten rounds, players draft tiles that are laid around a personal central hub, choosing the first available tile or placing ants on intervening tiles to pass them. Tiles grant roles—queens that boost empty spaces, nannies that produce extra soldiers, architects that let a player take a tile for free, warriors that attack the leading player, generals that control ant movement, and fruit gatherers that score by variety. Ants are worth one point each at game end, and the largest army receives a bonus five points.

Super light game that I would gladly play. I know there are many games out there where you leave a resource to grab the next ones in line, but this one let's you add it as a pizza pie to your 'tableau/rondel.' I like the quirky scoring at the end with fruit, queen, number of ants. Would choose to play this game if I needed a lighter game.

A great drafting game! I prefer it with 2 or 3 players since you can play with 2 colonies each, giving you more options.

Simple para niños pero distraido también para adultos ya que hay q pensar un poco si quieres ser eficiente!
