What's in the Box?

• 36 Square Tiles
• 4 Round Frog Tokens
• 1 Game Board
• 1 Rulebook

Set Up

Place the Game Board where all players can reach. Place the Round Frog Tokens face down and shuffle them. Each player randomly picks one and secretly checks to see their colour. Set aside remaining tokens. Keep your token face down, hidden from the other players. To win, you must have the most frogs of this colour face up on the board at the end of the game.

Shuffle the Square Tiles together and form a face down stack. Each player draws 3 tiles, keeping them secret. The most brightly dressed player goes first.

How to Play

On your turn you must do the following:

1. Play a tile
2. Resolve the effect of the tile
3. Draw a new tile from the stack, refilling your hand to 3 tiles

Tile Effects

There are two types of tile - Frogs and Snakes.

A Frog Tile can be played either on any empty space on the game board, or on top of any face down tile. It cannot be played on a face up tile. When a Frog Tile is played, flip over any adjacent tiles in the direction of the 4 arrows. If a tile is stacked on another, BOTH tiles are flipped together. Only the newly placed tile causes other tiles to flip.

A Snake Tile removes a Frog Tile from the game. A Snake Tile may only be played on top of a face up Frog Tile. Both the face up Frog Tile and the Snake Tile are discarded. If played on a stack of 2 tiles, only the face up Frog Tile is removed.

End of Game

The game ends immediately when either:

• all tiles have been played, or
• the board is full (with 16 face up Frog tiles)

Each player then reveals their Round Frog Token. The player who has the most face up Frog Tiles of their colour on the board is the winner.

Gameplay Example

Player 1 plays a red Frog Tile on an empty space. There are no tiles to flip.

Player 2 plays a blue Frog Tile.

The tile's arrows cause the red Frog Tile to flip.

Player 3 plays a green Frog Tile on top of the face-down tile. The arrows point to empty spaces so nothing flips.

Player 4 plays a yellow Frog Tile.

The arrows cause the blue Frog Tile to flip. The arrows also cause the stack of 2 tiles to flip, revealing the red frog.

Player 1 plays the Snake Tile on the red Frog Tile. The red Frog Tile and the Snake Tile are discarded.
