Bites

Bites by Brigitte and Wolfgang Ditt and published by Allplay is recommended for 2 to 5 players ages 10 to adult and takes about 20 minutes to play.

In Bites, you have shared incentives. From a relatively simple ruleset, alliances form, deception manifests, and clever plays abound!

You don't control a single ant — instead, choose any color to move. The ants land on their matching color, and you get to pick up one of the surrounding pieces.

By itself, that food doesn't have any value! Their point values change when their matching ant reaches the end of the trail. Changing rule cards make every play different.

Players move ants along a trail and collect food as they go. However, the value of that food depends on how the other ants move. Players can only loosely anticipate how much the food is going to be worth at the end of the game.

The point values are only determined once the matching ant makes it to the ant hill at the end of the trail. This creates shared incentives! Players might work together to advance some ants and hold others back.

The thrilling element of the game is planning how you can maximize the food tokens you collect, while also remaining flexible to the positions of the other ants as well as the tokens the other players have gathered.
