A tactical triumph; react to your opponents' moves!
You don't control a single ant — instead, choose any color to move. The ants land on their matching color, and you get to pick up one of the surrounding pieces.
By itself, that food doesn't have any value! Their point values change when their matching ant reaches the end of the trail. Changing rule cards make every play different.
The Strategy
Only take what you can chew
Players can only loosely anticipate how much the food is going to be worth at the end of the game.
The point values are only determined once the matching ant makes it to the ant hill at the end of the trail. This creates shared incentives! Players might work together to advance some ants and hold others back.
The thrilling element of the game is planning how you can maximize the food tokens you collect, while also remaining flexible to the positions of the other ants as well as the tokens the other players have gathered.

Expansion
Double Bites
Besides the game play, these tokens are the thing in Bites that we are most proud of. No one has ever done something quite like this in a board game. With dual layer tokens, both layers are uniquely cut, so the food tokens are truly 3 dimensional, and feel like bites have been taken out.
If you're looking for a longer game, with a little more time for the story and strategies to develop, then Double Bites will give you a second set of those lovely double layer food tokens. And then you can play Bites with a trail that is twice as long.
Expansion
New Recipes
You'll be able to play with over a dozen new rule cards that have noticeably larger effects than the cards in the base game. Some of them will feel like you are playing a completely different game.
These new cards can be mixed and matched with the base game cards too!
