ants, supplies and storage

Ants transport supplies they collected into the ant hill and store them in suitable chambers.

The board shows 49 storage chambers in five colors, connected by corridors and with room for 1 to 4 food markers and an unloading zone where you place the ant.

In the core game, to place the five ants to begin on marked unloading zones and give food markers in four colors to all players; every player puts any seven of them into the smaller part of his wooden chest, and the rest into the big reserve part of the box. You are dealt four movement cards, and two movement cards are placed on one or both of the two ant tracks.

As the active player you resolve actions: 1. Play a movement card and place it openly on an ant track, adjacent to another card. 2. Move an ant marker, depending on the color of the card and the number of connected cards of that color in the track. 3. If ant has reached an unloading zone, place food markers in the unloading zone, in the color of the storage chamber and only out of the smaller space in your wooden box, and maximum as many as the chamber can take. 4. Play maximum two more movement cards and repeat steps 2 and 3. 5. Replenish markers in small part of your box to seven from your reserve part of the box and replenish cards in hand to four. When a track reaches the river, all cards are removed, and a new track is begun. If you are first to unload all your food markers, you win. In the Freunde variant you score for unused storage and buy friends cards for advantages.
