Termity (2015)

About this game

Termity is a strategy game about the grappling of indefatigable insects for 2 to 4 players. At first glance, life goes slowly on the African plains scorched by the sun. Or so it seems. In the thicket of grass, termite swarms fight relentless battles. It is the territorial instinct that makes them contend perpetually. There is a tangible evidence for their fierceness - huge mounds which contain millions of insect warriors always ready to defend their fortress. Prove your artifice and strategic thinking ability by fighting for survival with your opponents, conquering mounds and expanding into new territories. The aim of the game is to take control over enemy and neutral mounds and defend your own nests. The player who has power over mounds with the biggest amount of points at the end of the game becomes the winner.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
