Chitin: I is a 1977 board wargame published by Metagaming Concepts.

Gameplay

Chitin: I is the second MicroGame from Metagaming after Ogre, in which, given a species of intelligent insects inhabiting a world in which food resources are inadequate for all, wars will be fought over what food is available.[1]

Reception

David James Ritchie reviewed Chitin: I in The Space Gamer No. 13, commenting that "For those who like their carnage in cardboard, Chitin: I is definitely an attractive brew."[1] Ritchie also reviewed the game in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 5 out of 9 and with the comments "Fairly short and simple. Lots of fun. Those with a taste for the bizarre will appreciate their units' ability to eat friendly casualties."[2]
