Team up using Xbox’s party system to create the perfect squad of three workers and a deadly Queen.

Wield these newfound powers in an effort to slay the enemy Queen. She has her own tricks though, including wings, a Stinger Sword, and the ability to claim upgrade gates for her own team.
Seven single-screen maps ensure all players have an equal perspective of each competitor’s actions, similar to televised sports. Strive for and defend against three different victory conditions: Economic, Military, and Snail. In other words, fill the team’s hive with berries, take out the opponent’s Queen three times, or ride the slow snail into the goalpost.
