This wasn't originally meant to be added to this Patreon, it was a game I was developing separately. But I was able to convince the company I'm working with to allow me to give you guys access to the game early and for "free"! The commercial license does not apply to this item, as I was not able to negotiate that with the company. But it wouldn't be profitable to print and sell it anyway because its a lot of parts and needs a lot of colors. (but don't worry, i have a lot more profitable prints coming soon)
Snack Attack
This game is a reimagination of a century old game where you guess locations on a board to find your opponent's pieces. The old version of this game was stale, boring, and bland looking, so I made a better version, made a kid-friendly theme, and spiced it up with added elements!
Printing this game requires a decent amount of time, and lots of colors. It looks best if you have a multicolor printer as well. But it SO worth it to print and play, we've had so much fun playing it.
If you'd like to buy the real board game when it comes out, please let me know. I will try and get you guys a discount on the actual game when it comes out since you're a part of this Patreon (:

Rules
In Snack Attack, two players compete in a strategic game of using their ant colonies to attack and eat each other's picnics. Each player places their food items on their picnic blanket grid, and the other player tries to find and "eat" them by sending out ants. The game ends when all food items of one player are found and eaten. The player who manages to eat all the opponent's food first wins.
Components
- 2 Picnic Blanket Grid Boards (11x11)
- Food Items (Cheese, Watermelon, Sandwich, Hot Dog, Cake, Grapes)
- Ant Hills
- Picnic Basket
- 80 Red Ants (to represent the Bites)
- 220 Black Ants (To represent Misses)
- Game Boards and Barriers
- Special Items (Bug Repellant, Poison Trap)
Setup
- Each player takes a grid board, a picnic basket filled with food and special items, and an Ant hill filled with red and black ants
- Players sit across from each other to prevent their opponent from seeing their board
- Each player arranges their food items on their grid horizontally or vertically, without overlapping any food items or extending beyond the grid. All placements are hidden from the opponent.
- Each Player also must place their poison trap on their board
Playing the Game
- The Oldest Player Gets to start first
- Players take turns calling out grid coordinates (e.g., B5) to guess where their opponent's food items are placed.
- If a guess hits a food item, the opponent says "Bit!" and the player marks that coordinate on their grid with a red ant. If a player gets a bite, they get another guess. They continue guessing until they miss
- If the guess misses, the opponent says "Miss," and the player marks the coordinate with a black ant
- When a food item is completely covered in ants, the opponent must announce which food item was eaten (e.g., "You've eaten the Cheese!").
Special Items: In the beginning of the game, each player starts with a bug repellant container and a poison trap
Bug repellant: The bug repellant may be used at any point of the game, but may only be used once per game. The replant allows a player to spray ants off of any item of food that currently has ants on it (but is not fully eaten). The player announces they are using the repellant by saying what ants they are spraying. "Spraying off spots C5, C6, and C7". Both Players must remove the ant markers off of their boards, and the player using the repellant may move the food item to any unoccupied location on their blanket. They then forfeit their turn and ability to guess.
Poison Trap: Each player starts the game by placing a poison trap on their board. If their opponent guesses the square that the poison trap is located, all ants in those rows/cols die, regardless of if they are on a food item or not. The player announces "Poison Trap!" and both players must remove all ants off of those rows and columns.
Poison Trap Example: Player 1 guesses D6 where the poison trap is located on Player 2's board. Player 1 must remove all their ants off their guess board in row D and column 6. Player 2 also removes all ants from their blanket in Row D and Column 6.
Winning the Game
- The game continues until a player has found and eaten all the food items of their opponent.
- The first player to eat all the opponent's food items wins the game.

I know this may be a big ask, but what are the odds of getting a case without so much free space around the board? I have to print at 85% to fit on my printer

The food items all fit inside the basket. The ants fit inside the ant hills. The ant hills just don’t have covers yet

Do the pieces fit in something? I love board games, I hate rogue pieces.
