Problem Picnic: Attack of the Ants

About this board game

Problem Picnic: Attack of the Ants is a 2–4 player dice-rolling dexterity game that takes about 30 minutes to play. As competing ant colonies, players invade a picnic and try to steal the most valuable plates of food.

On a perfect picnic day, families spread their blankets and arrange colourful plates filled with delicious treats. Your colony has other plans. The dice represent your ants, and you must roll them onto the picnic cards, aiming to place the most ants on the best foods.

Each colony can draw on different custom dice, with distinct types of ants suited to the struggle for picnic food:

• Workers represent your industrious ants.
• Scouts bring speed to your colony.
• Soldiers provide sturdy members for the contest.

The dexterity challenge makes every roll important. Carefully aim your dice across the table and onto the picnic cards as you compete with the other colonies for the most desirable plates. The picnic becomes a battlefield of bouncing dice, contested food, and opportunistic ants.

After the food has been stolen, the game moves to the final test: arranging your plates to satisfy the whims of your Queen. The colony that organizes its haul most successfully earns the most points and wins. With its combination of physical dice rolling, competition for food, and end-game scoring, Problem Picnic: Attack of the Ants turns an ordinary outdoor meal into an ant-sized contest for supremacy.
