PLAYED FOR YOU

Hooop!

Frogs jumping over Pontoons

Hops! Hooop! And one more jump! Not through a hoop, but over a pontoon! All frogs want to reach the opposing frog houses as quickly as they can, but after each jump one pontoon goes away.

Depending on the number of players there are different goals for the game; four players need to bring one of their three frogs to each of the opposing houses, three players move two frogs into one house and the third into the other and two players just need to move their frogs into the opposing house.

The leaves on the board corresponding to the number of players are connected with pontoons. In your turn you can jump over a pontoon from one leaf to another and then remove this pontoon. Or you can place a pontoon. If you jump onto a leaf with a frog this frog must give way and jump to another leaf. If this is not possible due to a lack of pontoons you cannot do this jump. Pontoons leading to houses are not removed. A frog cannot jump out of a house and also cannot drive out frogs that were there before him. You also hold four special cards which you can use at any time in the game, but you can only use one card per turn and each card only once. They are: Another jump; Cross over Air to a leaf without pontoon; Place an additional pontoon or Remove a pontoon.

Already published in Poland in 2008, the game is available now in a German language addition; it is a visually enchanting placement game with cute frogs for playing pieces and - despite being a wonderful family game with simple basic rules - has quite some tactic to offer; especially for children who can experience with first tactical game play.
