Description

Cross the pond... beware of the fish!

Guide your frogs across the pond and block other players from doing the same. The first player to get their entire frog family to the other side wins the game. But watch out, the fish can scare your frogs back to the start!

This is a game that can be played in two different ways depending on the experience and/or age of the players.

How to play:
Place the frog families on the side of the pond. Move the frogs across the pond by jumping over a path of lily pads. A large frog can jump 1-2 spaces, a small one 1-3 spaces. Frogs can jump over an adjacent frog to the empty lily pad directly behind it. If a player can't move a frog, he must move the fish 1-2 spaces. If the fish moves to a lily pad with a frog on it, the frog must return to its start point. The first player to get their entire frog family across the pond wins the game.

For more of a challenge, the Expert level allows small frogs to jump on the back of a large frog of its own color, forming a team. Teams move together one space at a time, as long as the lily pad is empty. This also protects the frogs from the fish, as teams can't be sent back to their starting edge. A team also can't leave the finish edge together. When separating a team, the small frog has to move first, leaving the large frog behind. In the Expert level, a large frog can also jump on a small frog of another color, trapping the small frog. The small frog can't move until the large frog moves away.
