Available to buy the moment they arrive (expected late November 2026).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixty 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIXTY 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHOW TO PLAY\u003cbr\u003eDeal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE PEACE RULE\u003cbr\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIN THE BOX\u003cbr\u003e· 36 cards: 30 stat-battle cards, 2 rules cards, 4 guide cards\u003cbr\u003e· Printed tuck box\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 2 or more players, ages 8–12.
