111 Ants (2017)

About this game

The description of gameplay in 111 Ants — first released as MyRummy 111 — requires only one sentence: Take a hand of unsorted cards, draw either a face-down or face-up card on your turn and put it in the right place, then place another card to the left or right of it. Your goal is to be the first to sort your cards in ascending or descending order, which is both easy and challenging since the cards have different qualities. Unfortunately, valuable cards rarely sit in the right place...

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
