Object of the Game

Each player tries to get rid of their frogs in the pond as quickly as possible.

Preparation

Each player receives 8 frogs. For older children, or when only two people play, each player receives 12 frogs. The game board stays in the box.

How to Play

The player who can jump furthest begins. The game proceeds in a clockwise direction.

1st Cycle: Roll the Die Once

During the first game cycle each player may roll the die only once.

Put Frogs into the Pond

When the colour rolled is not yet taken on the water lily pond, then you may place one or two frogs on it:

  • Yellow: put one frog on every yellow water lily (total 2).
  • Red: put one frog on every red water lily (total 2).
  • Purple: put one frog on the purple water lily.
  • Orange: put one frog on the orange water lily.
  • Green: put one frog on the big water lily leaf.
  • Blue: one frog jumps into the water (hole in the game board).

Take Frogs off the Pond

If the colour rolled is occupied already, the player has to take the frogs of this colour off the pond.

However this does not apply to the colour blue. There is no limit to the number of frogs that may dive into the water.

2nd Cycle: No Limit to Rolling the Die

During the following cycles the die may be rolled any number of times up to the point when a frog has to be taken off the pond.

End of the Game

The winner will be the player who is the first to get rid of all of his frogs.
