How to use: First, make sure you have the March of the Ants core game as this expansion requires it. Set up the Empires of the Earth expansion by laying out the new cards such as Evolutions, Events, Colony Goals, and Nest Chambers. Distribute the 180 custom wood Ant Meeples evenly among the players (36 in each player color). At the start of the game, players draft Mutations to give their colonies unique abilities. Then, start building your colony using the new strategies provided by the expansion. Use Nest Chambers to unlock recurring abilities. As you play, use the new Evolutions, Events, and Colony Goals to grow your colony. Things to note: Remember that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. Also, this is an expansion, so you can't play it without the core game. Maintenance advice: Keep the cards in a dry place to prevent them from getting damaged. You can use card sleeves to protect them. Store the Ant Meeples in a box to avoid losing them.
