Atta is the Latin name for the tribes of leaf cutter ants. Atta tribes can consist of millions of ants and a nest can be several cubic meters in size. Atta ants are always scouring for leaves to build their nest. They create trails -- sometimes up to two hundred meters long -- so they can quickly strip a tree and bring the bits of leaf to the nest.

Be the first to get all your ants into play in order to win the game.

A Good Thing in a Small Package

Roy Levien

May 26, 2004

A clever game with more to it than it would first seem. Success hinges on seizing opportunities when they present themselves and on not making mistakes that can put you behind. This game is quick to learn and travels well, and unlike many portable games, accommodates a reasonable range of player numbers (from 2-4).

The ant theme is thin, but just sufficient to work with the mechanics and add to the fun.

Atta Ants has the following expansions available:

Atta Ants expansion 1 $11.95

This expansion to Atta Ants adds twigs, tunnels, and rocks to the game.

Atta Ants expansion 2 (Currently Unavailable) $9.30
