Welcome to the bustling world of Micropolis, where you command an army of industrious ants to fulfill your desires. Assemble your colony and guide them through the intricate tunnels of the anthill, collecting resources and expanding your dominion. But what is it that you seek? Fruits to sustain your colony? Warriors to defend against rivals? A mighty queen to lead your colony to greatness? Or perhaps even more ants to bolster your ranks?
In Micropolis, each player begins with a central location surrounded by ten tiles, connected by a network of tunnels. Over the course of ten rounds, players strategically draft tiles, vying for supremacy in the ant kingdom. The player with the largest army takes the lead, selecting tiles that offer various benefits and advantages.
The tiles themselves play crucial roles in shaping the destiny of your colony. From queens who enhance their surroundings to nannies who bolster your army, each tile offers unique opportunities to strengthen your colony. Architects grant you unprecedented access to coveted tiles, while warriors stand ready to challenge rival players. Fruit gatherers provide sustenance, with points awarded based on the variety of fruits collected.
As the game progresses, the size of your ant army becomes paramount. Ants remaining at the end of the game earn valuable points, with additional points awarded to the player with the largest army. Will you emerge as the undisputed ruler of Micropolis, or will rival colonies outmaneuver you on the path to victory? Gather your ants, navigate the tunnels, and claim your rightful place in the bustling world of Micropolis.
