PiFroG

WIN WITH FROGS OR PIGS

Schreibweise bitte beibehalten

In PiFrog a team of frogs is facing a team of pigs, both strive for victory over their opponents. Frogs are agile and can jump over opponents, pigs are strong and can crush their opponents.

On a board of 7x7 squares, featuring a chess-board pattern, the pigs and frogs are placed on the two opposite end rows of the board on the squares of their color. Players move one of their pieces alternately until one of the victory conditions has been achieved: Either a player has conquered five opposing pieces or a player has places three of his pieces on three of the opposing starting squares. In your turn you have one of three possible actions: Turn a piece so that it faces one of the eight possible directions, but another one as before, or move a piece one square in the direction the piece is facing or conquer an opposing piece. The pieces have faces, therefore the direction they are facing is easy to determine. Frogs and pigs conquer their opponents in different ways: A Frog jumps over an opposing piece onto a free square to conquer a pig, double jumps are allowed. Pigs conquer frogs my crushing them, crushing means a pig conquers a frog that sits on an adjacent square in the direction the pig is facing.

PiFroG is a nice game for two with standard basic mechanisms in a nice combination, and also remarkable for its publisher – nestorgames has received lots of attention for its immense range of publications, partly classic standard games, partly new games, alle packed into cloth bags and with flexible boards, minimalistic and inexpensive, a very interesting concept all in all.
