On each player's turn, they can move any ant to the next food in the trail that matches their color (red ant to apple, purple ant to grapes, etc). Then the player takes the food token directly in front of or behind the ant, saving it to score at the end of the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, players don't know for sure how much the food is going to be worth until the matching ant makes it to the ant hill at the end of the trail.
