ANTological Theory is a GM-less tabletop comedy game for 3-5 players, who take the roll of ant philosophers debating in the Hive. You will debate about a variety of randomly chosen topics; the nature of Food, an ant's sense of self, the importance of the Queen, and even the trolley problem. Gameplay can be fast paced, or players can spend a lot of time debating one of the random topics at their leisure. The entire rules fit on a single page, and you'll just need two six-sided dice.

Listen to the game played on the One Shot podcast!

Socrantes, Diantgenes, and Emmanual Kant (pronounced can't) had difficulty coming to a consensus, but my game group enjoyed the game nonetheless. Thank you for making it!

We, as a human in our full power as human, give this game 5 stars. It's totally normal for human to rate great games and we wouldn't be able to rate it if we were a colony of ants in a trench coat. We are human in a trenchcoat. Thanks, fellow humans.

I pray it takes advantage of Actor Network Theory

I found this game through the One Shot podcast and really wanted to play it. It was a really great game. Easy and last a long or as short as you want it to while keeping itself interesting.
