The goal is to capture enemy ants to get parts of the ant queen that are pictured on the bottom of the pieces. All ants are magnetic and if the piece that you try to capture repels from your piece that piece captures you instead.
Move your 14 ants around on the dice roll, come back to your base and flip the pieces you have caught on your way. The base of your ants shows a part of the queen. Whoever gets the most parts of the queen's set, wins.
