Ants have found an abandoned picnic blanket ripe with sweets, but there aren’t enough for every colony…
$39
Gingham - $39
This picnic ain't big enough for the four of us.
In Gingham, players position their queens around the gingham picnic blanket and deploy their ants to connect sweets and claim the stockpiles they create. Stretch your ants across the blanket, and grab the biggest piles of sweets to prove your pint-sized royalty! Gingham is the second title in Bitewing Games' Travel Line. This line of games is focused on being supremely easy to play with anyone, anywhere.
Why You'll Love It
A Highly Interactive Game of Confection Connections
Players are racing to connect matching sweets to score big points. Can your ant colony snatch up that valuable cupcake before your rivals assemble their chain? By fully surrounding a sweet token or stack, you can claim it as your own stockpile for major scoring. But it’s possible for another player to steal your stockpile if they can surround your stockpile, and that’s even easier to accomplish if they can carry your stockpile away with a clever connection of ants.
Jockeying for turn order can become painfully crucial when it means the difference between triumph and defeat. You can even bump rival ants from their spaces, but be careful: a bumped ant can be placed on any open space on the board!
It’s important to snatch up as many sugar cubes as you can because these can be spent on powerful abilities on the chocolate board. These rule-breaking effects allow you to execute brilliant maneuvers and make thrilling comebacks.
