The Center Meadow is a unique feature of March of the Ants. It is the centerpiece of the board and is added to throughout the game with explored territory. It also holds a large amount of quick reference information as one of our goals while creating the game was to make it complex but keeping most of the rules right in front of players. The Center Meadow simply with information about the number of rounds, a key for game icons and a Round track. It still has all those elements but now also features tunnels which players can utilize to cross through and connect with distant parts of the Meadow. What started as a green and yellow mat composed from old file folders now contains detailed art, the Battle Spectrum and a guide to fighting Centipedes. One of the greatest joys of game design is seeing parts of the game evolve and while evolving a solid rule set is of the utmost importance super gratifying , changes that you can track visibly are both evidence of that evolution and a great marker for how far the game has come.
