<p>I owned Metagaming's Chitin I: The Harvest Wars (MicroGame 2) when I was a kid. I have a possibly flawed recollection that a larger bookshelf game using the Hymenoptera universe was released or possibly just planned. Does anyone know anything about it? I may also be confusing this with a similar game 3M or Avalon Hill game.</p>

Was a larger version of Chitin I: The Harvest Wars ever released?

I wrote a letter to Metagaming when I was a kid and they wrote back that additional games were planned in the series.

It's a shame that never happened. There's an article out on the web from a magazine that added ranged units.

It's my understanding the rights are for sale, but the asking price is high. Really high. Last I heard about it was late 90s or early 2000s... and it was in the $125K range.
