Mating Flight
A player may choose to exchange the location of any player's ant, including their own, with that of any other player's ant.
Mysterious Hole
Hexes cannot contain more than one wormhole, or more than one centipede. If a player chooses to place a wormhole, placing a larva is optional.
Rapid Mobilization
May move ants and/ or larvae. All larvae that a player wishes to move must be moved before ants are moved.
Royal Jelly
Must choose both effects before resolving either.
Sneak Attack
The player does not need to have an ant in that contested hex. In that case, battle will take place between whichever players are in that hex.
Battle will resolve as it normally would in the Soldier Phase, including centipede battle, and battle with multiple players.
Sparrow Attack
A player must inhabit a collection site in that hex to play this card. The player who plays this card loses ants as well. This card can only be paid for with larvae.
Swarm
Ants may be moved from anywhere; they do not need to be connected by tunnels or adjacent to the hex. All the ants must move to a single hex.
Evolution Cards
Acrobat Head
May only move ants, not larvae. This ability may cause a hex to become contested, in which case battle will occur there, or it may cause a hex to become uncontested, in which case no battle will occur.
Amazon Head
If the player who has this evolution wins a battle, they gain two larvae even if an opponent does not lose two larvae.
Armored Head
This evolution does not prevent your last ant in a hex from being destroyed. It reduces the number of casualties by one. If a player would suffer four casualties, they would suffer only three.
Army Head
A player may use this ability if they have an ant in the outskirts of a hex or if they inhabit a collection site. Placed larvae must come from that player's Larvae Chamber. If returning ants to the Larvae Chamber causes the hex to become uncontested, no ant battle will take place.
Blasting Head
If a player uses this ability, they may destroy any player's ants that are present in that hex. When ants are destroyed, the player whose ants are destroyed decides which ants are lost. If this card's effect causes a hex to become uncontested, no battle will take place there.
Carpenter Abdomen
May only move ants with this ability. May move ants into hexes where there are centipedes. If a hex becomes contested as a result of this move, battle does not occur until the following Soldier Phase.
Flying Thorax
The player who has this evolution must still move larvae to hexes that they inhabit. This does not allow a player to place an explored hex with no connecting tunnels.
Golden Fire Head
To use this ability, a player must discard both cards simultaneously before any player reveals cards.
Red Harvester Thorax
Collect one larva from each larva site you inhabit after exploring (single or double larvae sites both grant only one larva).

Leaf Cutter Abdomen
Collection sites that a player chooses to collect food from do not give that player their normal resource for that Harvest.

Pharoah Abdomen
Only collect extra larvae from single larva collection sites.
Proboscis Head
This effect happens in all battles, even those that take place outside of the Soldier Phase.

Trapjaw Head
The player who has this evolution will gain only one colony point from this card for each hex they battle in, even if they battle more than once in the same hex.
Tunneling Thorax
This effect allows a player to move ants between any two adjacent hexes, regardless of whether there are any connecting tunnels. A player may move in and out of the Great Tunnel in the same manner. This does not allow a player to place an explored hex with no connecting tunnels.
Weaver Thorax
Other players may not move ants out of a hex that is inhabited by a player with the Weaver Thorax. They are trapped. They may move more ants into that hex. They may also use ants in that hex to pay for the cost of cards. This card has no effect on ants in The Great Tunnel.
