About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, board game enthusiasts! Ready to give your ant colony a boost? Myrmes: Colony Tiles is the expansion that arrives to shake up the actions in your anthill, bringing some cool new features for those who already master the base game. Check it out, because we're not talking about a bunch of new pieces just thrown into the box! This expansion introduces four new colony tile options that will change how you advance through your anthill's levels. Think about it: instead of just doing the basics, you can now optimize food collection by turning a simple food into two victory points, or boost your tunnel actions, allowing you to place or replace one without spending earth. And for those who enjoy a little conflict, there's a virtual warrior to use against enemies or to hunt prey. Oh, and forget about worrying about discarding excess cubes in a turn, and you even get two larvae on the house! To top it all off, there's the option to place two nurses in the atelier space. Myrmes is already a game that requires good planning, and this expansion adds more strategic layers without overcomplicating things. It's for those who enjoy optimizing every move and seeing their colony thrive in different ways. If you like Myrmes and want more variety in your games, this expansion is a perfect fit for exploring new tactics and ensuring your queen's survival!
