Anticipation*

The objective is to catch enemy ants to obtain parts of the queen ant depicted on the underside of the figures. All ants are magnetic, and if the figure you attempt to catch repels from yours, it captures your figure instead.

Move your 14 ants based on your dice roll, return to your base, and flip over the stones you've collected. The base of your ants reveals a part of the queen. The player who collects the most parts of the queen set wins.
