FIGHT PHASEOne of your stacks may attack an enemy Ant stack in an adjacent space. You must play a Fight card with a Level equal to less than the number of ants in your stack. Your opponent may also play a Fight card (with the same limitation). The target stack loses a number of Ants (killed) equal to the Card played. If you wipe out a space, you may move 1 of your attacking ants into it.
NEST PHASEYou may play a meld and tokens. A Meld consists of 3 cards: One each of Forage, Dig, and Breed. Each card has a Level modified by the Tokens played. Determine your lowest Level in the 3 categories. Gain a number of Ant counters equal to this Level. For Example: You have Forage 3, Dig 7, and Breed 8: You gain 3 Ant counters (of your color). Place these counters in a space you occupy or in adjacent empty spaces. You may stack any number of Ants in a given space. Discard played Cards and Tokens SCOUT PHASETake control of any Tokens in any space you occupy. Remove these from the board and keep them next to you. Unclaimed Tokens in unoccupied spaces remain until claimed.

1) How do stacks move? Place stacks anywhere or one space a turn? A) Stacks don't move. That's intentional. The only way to expand into new spaces is by Card Melds and Fighting. If you want to move Stacks an optional rule would be to discard a Fight card to move its level in Ant counters one space each. When distributing counters after a Meld the counters can be spread over several adjacent spaces, they do not all have to go into one space. 2) Is fighting just one round or can you place more cards down after the first. A) One card only as I envisioned it. However, of course you may want to allow more in your House Rules. 3) In your example of reproduction phase, if two food tokens were added, then the total ants added would be 5. Correct? A) Yes, correct.
