Manage an ant colony through the seasons, laying pheromone trails and fighting rival colonies on a hex grid.
Vibe's take
colony management rhythm, seasonal planning, territorial ant warfare, unique thematic immersion
Who it's for
Euro gamers who want a truly unique theme where ant colony management drives every strategic decision.
Not for you if…
You prefer traditional Euro themes or want a game without direct territorial conflict.
Control an ant colony through the seasons, sending workers underground to birth new ants and above ground to claim territory with pheromone trails. Myrmes is a worker-placement game where your workers are literal ants exploring a hex grid, fighting enemy ants, and harvesting resources. The seasonal cycle drives your colony planning: summer is for expansion, autumn for harvesting, and winter for survival. The queen's demands add objectives that shape your strategy each year.
