Water Lily

Race for the royal crown

Players are frogs and run a race across the pond for the chance to marry Princess Water Lily or one of her sisters.

First you set up the very beautiful water landscape with box and lid, this gives you a visible race track for the frogs and an underground finish zone. The frogs of all teams are stacked on the starting loes, exactly in the sequence given by the cable colors.

You are allocated a secret color by drawing a water lily / frog tile, there always all frogs in play, the tiles are set aside face down. In your turn you always draw the top frog from any stack as many steps diagonally forward as there were frogs in the stack at the start of your turn. You may make shorter moves than possible and also end your turn on other frog, but no stack may be higher than 4 frogs. At the edge of the box you must stop your move, if you reach the ramp the frog slides off the board and out of the game and disappears in the pond. When a slide is full, your frog may not end its move there. When the last frog of any team has disappeared in the pond the game ends and is scored: The frog tiles are turned up, the pond is uncovered and each player scores for his own frogs depending on their position on the slides: 1 point for the first, 2 for the second, but nothing for the 5^th or any later frog. If you have the highest total score you win.

Water Lily is an enchanting game for children and families with a surprising amount of hidden tactical possibilities due to the free choice of how far to move your frog and which frog to move. Just don’t reveal your color too early!
