Long have the insects warred amongst each other. Hive and hill rarely see eye to eye. Both sides have suffered innumerable losses when war breaks out and prefer to keep their domains separate. Hives rule the skies and hills rule the earth. A singular threat to their way of life binds them together...

Humans have spread across the world forcing the insects into smaller and smaller pockets of the world. Their size and chemicals make them a great threat. While insects are small, they greatly outnumber the humans. In rare moments, the insects are willing to band together to fight the threat.

Upon a checked ground of red and white gingham, the humans have laid a bounty of food. A veritable feast that they seek to consume. While insects on both sides spend a majority of their time seeking out food, even a small sample of the meal that the human’s call a “picnic” would help feed a hive or hill for the long winter. At this moment, both hive and hill have agreed to work together to get the bounty and drive off the humans.

With the minds of the queens of the hive and hive helming the endeavor, hopefully the insects can prevail with minimal casualties...

In this tabletop role playing game, you will take the role of two rival insect queens attempting to work together to frighten off the humans and steal their food. Each queen has a unique set of skills that they can activate with a pool of 6d6. With push-your-luck mechanics and dice allocation, your insects will attempt to gather as much food as possible to keep your people fed through a long winter and establish a long standing peace.
