Description

The Queen is Dead!

Now the colony is thrown into turmoil as new queens emerge to try to build new colonies from the shattered remains, all while the humans are spraying the yard with pesticide to end the colony for good!

Roll the dice to determine which types of bugs you can claim, or if the pesticide grows stronger. Spend the dice to claim the bugs, but be careful! Time is running out, and if both dice of the same color get spent before they can be unlocked, those bugs will be lost. Also, taking too many bugs of one type lowers their value, so locking them away at the right time could be a highly strategic move.

Once all the dice have been used up, or the pesticide overtakes the whole colony, the game is over and everyone scores the colony they have created. In the end, the highest score is the strongest colony, and that player wins!

Check out the rules document for more info, or the video below which will give you a runthrough of the gameplay!
