There are as many Ants as players, and the Anteater.
The aim of the game is to collect food and take it home, without being eaten by the Anteater.
Players roll the dice to move, counting one from one point to the next. Zoom carries you to the end of the stretch for one.
There are five pieces of food, distributed randomly on the course.
Ants collect the food in passing.
If a player rolls Hausfrau (housewife), then the food the Ant is carrying goes back on the course anywhere.
If a player rolls Erbonkle (Ladybird), then the food the Ant is carrying goes straight home.
If a player rolls Anteater, then the Anteater moves the number on the other die.
If an Ant lands on the Anteater, or vice versa, then the Ant is eaten and has to go home without the food and can start again if the player wants to.
If all Ants are home (eaten), then the Anteater wins.
If all the food is home, then the Ants win.
The Ants always win, eventually.
