ants

Ants is the next release from Twisted Winds. Their first game, Accused, was released earlier this year.

The game is played on a hexagonal grid with queen, workers, and sergeants, and you have to balance collecting food versus fighting other colonies. Rumored to have an original feel, though be warned that it has player elimination.

They distributed numerous copies of the game at Essen, but none appear to be available from their site, which is under construction.
