I would ABSOLUTELY love to get a second edition for this game! I have personally gotten 6 different households to buy a copy of it because the 2nd ed is SO good! I'm the designer of 2nd Edition.

Thanks Joel. Another thing worth considering for the future is to break up the Ring of Threes a little, by adding either twos or fours or both.

It was designed with help from artificial intelligence and I want to put it on BGA to see how the AI did. Here's a testimonial about it from designer Emerson Matsuuchi (designer of Century: Spice Road): ...

Hey. Thanks for asking. This is covered in the eating rule: "All your bugs which are adjacent to one or more enemy bugs of the same shape (but not necessarily the same orientation) must eat (capture) those enemy bugs."

Here's a scheme I like:

bird
snake
fox
wolf
bear

anaconda
jaguar
