About It Happens..

Anton, the adventurous anteater, is out looking for food. Nosy as he is, he sticks his long nose into every termite hill he comes across, and it’s not just edible things that he turns up either. His main objective, however, is the termite queen and her general. They earn the most points at the end. A dice game where players have to place dice one by one onto certain columns of different anthills in order to attain the majority and score the most victory points.
