Problem Picnic: Attack of the Ants • Action-packed dicefest!
Created by Kids Table Board Gaming
It's a perfect day for a picnic! The park fills with families, spreading their blankets, and setting out colourful plates loaded with delicious treats.
But there has never been a picnic without uninvited guests ... ANTS!!
In Problem Picnic: Attack of the Ants, players are competing ant colonies trying to steal the best plates of food from the picnic blankets. In this 2-4 player, dice-rolling dexterity game, the dice are your ants. Roll them onto the picnic cards, trying to get the most ants onto the foods and plate colours you want. Different custom dice at your disposal represent your industrious Workers, speedy Scouts, and sturdy Soldiers. At the end of the day, the colony that has arranged their stolen plates to best satisfy the whims of the Queen will earn the most points and win the game!

Hello my Army of Ants!

Hello My Army of Ants!
We haven't been in touch since the summer and thought we really should let you know what is going on with us.
What's Happening at KTBG?
On Tuesday, October 10th we will be launching our 3rd KS campaign. Haunt the House is a 2-4 player set collection game, with a bit of bluffing and press your luck. The game is a true 8+, and plays for 30-40 minutes. If you want to know more, or want to be reminded upon the launch of the campaign, you can sign up here.
While We're On Topic
Check out the beautiful card backs that Josh created for Haunt the House.
It is just one of the many beautiful illustrations up on BoardGameGeek. Feel free to click on this link to take you right there. Don't forget to thumb, thumb, thumb!
What We're Backing
Two HUGE campaigns launched on KS today. Guardian's Call by Druid City Games, as well as Sunset Over Water by Pencil First Games.
We backed both of these campaigns today. We could not be happier with the way they play and are excited to get to playing them with our kids. Check them out when you get a chance!
That's all for now Ants!
Until next time, go get that food!

Hello my Army of Ants,
The messages, Tweets, Instagram and Facebook posts we've been receiving have been so incredible to see and read. I keep forwarding the messages to Scott and Josh - they are so happy to see their hard work being enjoyed by you. I am also happy to report that sales on the retail side have been going well too! So thank you for taking the time to write and post all over the place. It makes doing this job that much more worth it.
What's New
Well, two HUGE things actually!
Let's start with our website. Check out www.kidstablebg.com to see our new logo and website. I've been working on it for quite some time and think it speaks so much more to our games and our audience. While your there, sign up for our Newsletter. You'll want to be in the know about what I am about to tell you.
We've got a new game coming to Kickstarter on October 10th, so set your calendar. Josh and I are out of control excited about it!! It's called Haunt the House and is a set collection, bluffing, and a bit of push-your-luck game. You can check it out on Facebook and on our website. So much more info to come. So keep looking for updates.

Hello my Army of Ants!
I am happy to say that fulfillment is complete. Some of you will continue to receive your Problem Picnic rewards over the next week or two. Some of you have received yours already. We're hearing great things and that makes us really happy.
TORONTO Worker backers, I finally received everything we need to complete your orders. Your games will be at TOYTOWN as of tomorrow morning. Please remember to bring I.D. with you, as you will be asked to show it when you pick up your games. TOYTOWN is not just your pick up destination, it is an incredible toy store in mid-town Toronto. It is the only toy store we shop at, and it is nowhere near our home. The customer service AND the stock is unsurpassed. Make sure to take a look around while you are there.
Last but not least, once you have received your games, please share your experiences with the world.
Board Game Geek (free to join) is a great place to get any info you need about a game, including its popularity, and clarifying rules. Check out the link to rate Problem Picnic: Attack of the Ants.
