Overview

In Myrmes, players lead ant colonies striving for dominance by gathering resources, expanding their nests, and strategically managing their ant workers. Each turn, you'll allocate action points to various tasks, such as foraging for food, laying eggs to increase your workforce, or sending out soldier ants to defend your territory and harass your opponents.

The game board is a modular grid representing the surrounding environment. Players expand their nests by placing tiles, creating routes for their ants to efficiently transport resources back home. The core of the game is a delicate balance of worker placement and resource management, forcing you to make tough choices about how to best develop your colony and outmaneuver your rivals in this struggle for survival.
