About the Game

The Ants & The Grasshopper is a solo worker placement game for children.

In this game you play as a colony of ants that is preparing for the coming winter. Each turn you place your ant workers on cards in your colony in order to take actions. You will collect food and dig tunnels in order to build additional cards and expand your colony further.

Each turn you will also draw from a deck of grasshopper AI cards, and the pesky grasshopper will show up to block your cards, distract your workers, and steal some of your food.

To win, you need to enter winter with 30 food in your stockpile and with 4 new cards built in your colony.
