Sixty Million Years — The Ant Kingdom Card Game

COMING SOON — the decks are being printed now. Available to buy the moment they arrive (expected late November 2026).

Sixty million years ago, the ant and termite empires went to war — and the war never ended. It was still raging the day a South Texas boy named Ryan fell through the ground and landed in the middle of it.

SIXTY MILLION YEARS is the stat-battle card game of The Ant Kingdom, the trilogy by Robert Dilley (The Ant Kingdom · The Deep Earth · The Poison Rain). Thirty cards carry the war's kings, queens, generals and legends — Anure, the king who laid down his crown; Martia, who raised an army in the deep earth to take hers back; General Cerpa; Mastoer, king of the termites; and Sarn, who held the rope at the River of Night. Every card is rated for BRAVERY, WISDOM, LOYALTY, BATTLE and CUNNING, and every card tells its story in a line drawn from the books.

HOW TO PLAY
Deal the whole deck. The player whose turn it is names one stat; everyone plays their top card, and the highest value in that stat wins the trick. Tied for highest? Those cards go to a war pile, and the next cards decide it. Win tricks to grow your pile — run out of cards and you are out of the war. The first player to hold every card wins the war.

THE PEACE RULE
If the Stone of the Two Mouths is played, the trick is shared instead — every player takes their own card back, and the player who named the stat names again.
