VIP being not a piece you USE but one that's AGAINST you is a mechanic I don't think I've seen at all so far this jam. Genuinely huge props for using the theme on such an interesting and unique way!!
Great work! I can see the Anteater being a very important piece - to everyone! I like how you included everyone in the Betting to give other players some sense of control over the beast. It seems like the Anteater could be really punishing if it just "randomly" went to a disadvantaged clearing, but I'd have to try it out to see!
I love this faction idea so much. Your V.I.piece being a dangerous weapon you can harness, everything about the line is brilliant, i love the unique movement and recruiting it inspires. the anthills are also very funky. I dig it a lot. There's one little rule clarification though i think is needed, the first step of the Anteater's hunt, when it says "You may add 1 card +1 per {compass} showing" is hard for me to intuit whether you mean from the hand or the top of the deck, as the step just before noted that you add the top deck card.
Either way, I'd love to playtest this faction. Excellently done, and great art too.
You are right , i put the phrase at the wrong spot i think. The intent was " you may add a card from your hand +1 per compass". So you can lead the anteater where you want (kinda)
Thanks a lot !
