Fantasy ants fighting over real candy. Eat what you capture. What better way to introduce your kids (or nieces and nephews) to the imaginative, exciting world of miniature gaming?
Picnic Panic contains 41 metal miniatures depicting four races of ants – the First Born, the Horned, the Nomants, and the ever-popular Black (zombie)ants, each with unique strengths and weaknesses.
The objective is simple: capture the candy in the center of the board, carry it back to your anthill, and fight off the other players who want to take your candy away from you.
Gameplay is simple, but introduces the novice player to all of the main concepts of miniature gaming – movement, ranged combat, melee, use of dice to resolve combat, reinforcements, and army differences.
